4.0 out of 5 stars Good but difficult to read, January 11, 2006
By mom MD (Mexico) - See all my reviews
This book is a great book, because it uses Montessori's own words to explain the basic concepts of Montessori, and it covers all of the basics. However I wouldn't recomend it to parents who first want to find out about Montessori, because the language is very complex and you get tired of so many ideas in so little space. First time readers of Montessori are better of with her other book, "Montessori Today".

This is an excellent book for people who will have patience and read it little by little to be able to "Swallow" and get every idea.
