Love the Montessori focus on the senses, exploring the world, and letting children have valuable "work." Some of Dr. Montessori's premises are off, so I'm still considering how that impacts her methods and tools. This book is primarily about the tools, but she goes into her premises a little more in "Childhood Education." Without having dug through her premises yet, I'm still really impressed with her "tools," which remind me of a lot of the games that fascinated me...more
I read the Kindle edition, which leaves out all of the illustrations being described by Montessori. If you plan of reading the same version, it's a must to familiarize yourself with the Montessori didactic equipment in order to clearly understand the exercises. Otherwise, a very interesting read on Montessori's method.
A great overview of the basic lessons for 3-6 year olds.
Again, I need to re-read this book. My initial exposure to Montessori's writings were years ago and my current experience requires that I re-read to remind myself, reteach myself and expand on ideas which were brand new to me at the time.

Quick read to see how and why Montessori materials are to be used.
Fascinating book and a great primer on children's mental development.
