It has been twenty-five years since this handbook of early-learning activities was published and immediately established itself as a book that anyone working with young children had to own. To celebrate the anniversary, we are pleased to publish an edition featuring a new cover that celebrates I Saw a Purple Cow's status as a classic in the field. The contents remain the same. The lists of useful things to buy and save are still current and useful, and the activities, such as making rock creatures, fun with sounds, and how to create tube and clothespin puppets, are as easy and intriguing today as they were when the book was originally published. Here is an essential tool for today's caretakers of young children.
