Discover the captivating world of early childhood education in New Zealand with 'Politics in the Playground (Revised Ed)' by Helen May. This insightful book, now available in its third edition, explores the historical journey of early childhood care from the postwar era to the present, reflecting on significant milestones that have shaped the sector. The updated narrative includes the latest developments under the Labour coalition government led by Jacinda Ardern, providing a comprehensive view of how societal changes have influenced early childhood policies.Drawing from the foundational book 'Discovery of Early Childhood', this engaging read details the evolution of institutional care and education for young children, highlighting pivotal events in New Zealand's social history. Readers will find an analysis of the impact of social movements, including the rise of feminism and the increasing presence of women in the workforce, alongside discussions on how these factors have transformed early childhood education and care.
'Politics in the Playground' uses accessible language to break down complex topics such as the transition from mid-century social progress to late 20th-century economic policies. The narrative progresses through debates over the emerging identity of young citizens from the 2000s onwards, culminating in the contemporary discourse surrounding the 'vulnerable child'. This book is essential for parents, educators, policymakers, and students alike, making it a notable addition to any library.
Invest in this crucial resource to understand the dynamics of early childhood education in Aotearoa New Zealand, its modern challenges, and the key issues affecting young children today.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas.
But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way.
Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters.
That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception.
SPOILER:
The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured.
I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book.
Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray.
I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.
