Petrie (University of Liverpool) and Owen (National Children's Bureau) describe work with infants and toddlers in the US and Hungary based on the resources for infant educarers (RIE) model developed by Magda Gerber in California. The eight chapters define the basic RIE philosophy and principles, outline the ways the approach has been used in different day care settings, and examine the applicability of the RIE approach to the current UK context.
