50 Fantastic Ideas for Involving Parents is a resource bank full of ideas to help early years practitioners engage and involve parents in the early years setting.

This is an excellent series which should form part of teacher's resources in pre-school settings. I like the very specific nature of the books, which enable practitioners to focus in on exactly the issue they need; they are also an excellent resource for trainee teachers. www.parentsintouch.co.uk Any learning environment, home, classroom, nursery or staff room would be all the richer for having a set of these books on their shelves for reference.
