A Real Kick for a Montessori Student!

My son read this book after he completed the 3-year primary program. He really got a kick out of reading about the woman who started it. Now that he has finished his first year of traditional public schooling, he thinks Dr. Montessori was a very smart lady. He often voices a desire to go back to her type of classroom! This book is also a quick, easy read for parents who don't have much time, but have an interest in the woman, the philosophy, and the history of Montessori education.
