Discovery of the child,
By Elizabeth (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Discovery of the Child (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.
