I've been fascinated learning about Montessori style education and philosophy lately. I liked this book because it gives you a basic look into this style without going too in depth and without having to read Maria Montessori's own works. Great ideas that I'd like to incorporate into our home.
Essential if you're doing Montessori lessons in the home. He gives a great overview of each period of learning, as well as explanations of basic materials and how to present them. I'll be using this one almost daily.
I love the montessori ways and this book was really a great tool. I think I would use it more if/when I have my own pre-school or kids
Not overly into Montessori, this book gives me everything I need without giving me too much.
