I received my copy last Friday and couldn't put it down! This is a wonderful resource with great examples and fullcolor pictures throughout on ways to set up your environment. It also gives the reasons behind the design ideas. If you follow a Reggio phylosophy, this is a must have. If you are interested in how to make your classroom or program a warm and inviting place where children and families want to come in a stay, this is the book for you.
