This book is great, for someone like myself who is a huge montessori lover. It explains in detail all the materials used within the montessori classroom and gives you a clear understanding of the montessori philosophy behind it. If there is any book about the montessori method I would recommend, it would be this one. This is definetely a very interesting read.
