This is an excellent book that not only gives insight on how to deal with toddlers but adds details on how to adapt the Montessori method within the home environment. I found the section "Designing a Home/School Environment That Supports Your Toddler" very enlightening and easy to achieve. This book can be utilized by both professionals and parents wishing to educate their toddlers at home. Aside from the 125 activities at the end of the book , exercises in improving language and other skills are also included.

This book is easy to read. The author is Montessori trained and provides 125 activaties that you can do in your home or classroom. Even if you only implement half of her advice you will really be supporting your child in a practical way and you will love the results.

Published in 1998, this is a nice book if you have a child under the age of three. It also has cute black and white drawings.

It is an easy read, and focuses mainly on the toddler years, and it is written by a trained AMI Montessori teacher.

Another great feature are the 125 (albeit brief) activities described to do at home or in a classroom. She also has a DVD that I recommend, "The Making of Great Little People" that was filmed in her Montessori toddler classroom.

If you want a genuine Montessori book for the 15 to 30 month age group (tots and toddlers), I highly recommend it!
