This book is about Harry, a determined little boy, who is intrinsically motivated to explore his world from an early age. His parents and grandparents find him so fascinating that they keep a written and video diary of Harry’s play from when he is 8 months to five years. The book demonstrates how effectively Harry accesses each area of the curriculum through his interests. It shows how Harry develops coping strategies when the family experiences major changes. It also highlights the contribution made by Harry’s parents and his early years educators to his early education. Much of what we learn about Harry’s early learning can be applied to many other young children.
