Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a very good introduction to Dr Maria Montessori's teachings and ideas. It gives an account of how she derived many of her methods and the materials she used. The book is filled with details and interesting encounters with her little charges which makes her an endearing educator. However, it does not contain enough information for the actual exercises the child is supposed to practise.

I like the book. I haven't finished reading it so I cannot express a full opinion. The understanding of Maria Montessori for the child and how the child is the man or woman to be is remarkable and never before expressed in our culture. It is somethng all parents and teachers should be aware of when interacting with their children.
