5.0 out of 5 stars A great gift for new parents, May 29, 2009

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Look at the Child: An Expression of Maria Montessori's Insights (Paperback)

Kids don't come with instruction books, and while there are so many filled over the brim with great information and ideas for parents, none equals this gem. The photographs capture the essence of respect for a child's individuality. One thought accompanies each photo, communicating the essence of Montessori philosophy. This book is profound in its simplicity, inspiring readers how to respectfully provide for the child.
