5 out of 5 stars Great to the point ideas   July 28, 2008
I was totally impressed with this book. It is very colorful and informative for those interested in establishing a Montessori way household. The information is to the point and suggested activities and necessary household items are listed in a clear concise manner.


5 out of 5 stars A great introduction to the Montessori method   July 19, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I didn't know much about the Montessori method, but this book was a great introduction to both the general principals, and specific practices. It's a fairly quick read, with lots of pictures (showcasing the most amazing kids fashion I've ever seen), but it offers a wonderful window into a method that has raised many successful and fascinating children and adults over the past century.

A very nice point about this book is that there are instructions on how to make some of the specific Montessori toys used for learning letters and numbers. There's also a short but comprehensive list at the end of suggested books and web resources. Since, as the book explains, the Montessori method isn't copyrighted and anyone can claim it, it was nice that the book offered some definitive sources that can be trusted.

I'd recommend this book to any parent of a young child. Even if you don't want to send your child to a Montessori school (and the book even freely admits that it's not for everyone), there are some really valuable ideas in this book about everything from learning to child development to discipline to specific activities to do with a child.

I recommend this book to parents interested in a Montessori education for their children. It gives a very clear understanding of what Montessori is about.


4 out of 5 stars A good introduction - Practical tips to apply Montessori at home   May 2, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

My daughter goes to a Montessori daycare. Before signing her up, I had reviewed online information. This book does not really give you more than what you can find online on the method itself, and does not touch on the critism made to the Montessori method.
However, it is a very pleasant book and good introduction. It gives very practical advise to apply Montessori to your home.



5 out of 5 stars good little home companion   October 28, 2007

This is no literary great, but a short and sweet little guide about montessori in the home. The photos are exquisite, a real joy in themselves. The ideas and activities in the book are more contemporary than some of the other montessori the in the home books around as well.
