This essay presents a critical review of the work by Joseph Tobin, Yeh Hsueh y Mayumi Karasawa entitled "Preschool in three cultures revisited" (2009, The University of Chicago Press, ISBN: 9780226805030). Since the book has been written in English, but may interest Spanish speaking audiences, I was asked to also write a review in Spanish, which was also published by Education Review.
