Welcome Welcome to the new 2013 Featherstone catalogue. We have been working hard to bring you lots of fantastic new titles to inspire and support all practitioners, teachers, childminders, librarians, parents and everyone else involved in Early Years Education. With the revised Statutory Framework coming into effect in September 2012 we have been busy updating our titles in line with these requirements so you can see how all the great ideas, activities and theories link to what you need to do with children in your settings. Look out for the New Edition logos so you can get the most up-to-date resources. New highlights for 2013 include nine 50 Fantastic Ideas titles (p11), Communication and Language books for speaking and listening skills (p17), Maths and Outdoor Learning sections (p20 and 22) and five new practitioner’s guides covering everything from ICT to role-play and displays to learning outdoors (p26-28).
