Good Books on Preschool Instruction

[Oneluckymom]

I have often thought (and come close to) enrolling in some formal classes...but then shy away from it for various reasons financial, time commitments to family, etc.

Sooo, for those of you who have taken some classes and those who are self-learners, what are some useful books on learning early child development and early learning?

I was looking on amazon...there are a lot of good looking books, but I wanted some recommendations first.

I like the Creative Curriculum books I took some Care Classes and the book that comes with the class is wonderful Really not that expensive and you do it at your speed.
