What's Wrong with "Edward the Unready"? Our Responsibility for Readiness.
Graue, M. Elizabeth
Young Children, v53 n2 p12-16 Mar 1998
Describes how Rosemary Wells's new books about "Edward Unready" explain children and readiness; explores the problems with her message, and suggests new endings that are more supportive of all children. Asserts that variability in development should not be mistaken for deficit, and recommends changing the focus from judging children to judging early childhood education practices. (EV)
