      Former art instructor Hansel (education program development specialist, Dept. of Education) laments the two-dimensional screens and workbooks seen throughout kindergarten classrooms, which provide little opportunity for sensory experiences, deep thinking, or problem solving. The result? A diminished skill set of hand-eye coordination and visual-spacial skills. The solution? Bring on the blocks. This simple toy offers opportunities to carry, fill, empty, build, stack, pretend, sort, fit, interpret, reproduce, and stack again. From hollow and wooden to cardboard and foam, blocks in all their many textures are irresistible to children from birth through upper elementary, and their durability and affordability make them indispensable to most child-care settings and lower elementary classrooms. Hansel supplies a wealth of instructional ideas for block play that correlate to topics such as transportation, travel, and world culture. VERDICT Replete with lovely, full-color photographs of children at play, this title--while pricey--should be on every early childhood educator's bookshelf.
