Comments

Amazon Customer: The copy of this book is of poor quality. The writing on the back is not straight, the print is a little blurry with thin pages that you can see the writing on the other side of the page and their is a piece of gold tape stuck on the back that says "original".
Besides the poor quality version, the book is a difficult read. I presume it is accurately copied from the original but who knows?!

Amazon Customer: This book is full of insightful gems. Every parent should have a copy of this in their library. I feel like I have a much deeper understanding of my children.

Christine: Maria Montessori wrote a lot of books but a few really stand out. This book is one of them. In the past the old pholosophy of child rearing was children were to be seen not heard. Well, when she opened her first school in Italy calle the "Casa de Bambini" she used her medical training to observe the children and came to many life changing discoveries of the secret inner life of children which are true today as it was when she fist discovered them. For a first time parent to their second child to a budding teacher, this book is a must read.

Reynaldo Martin del CampoReynaldo Martin del Campo: The book and it's contest is pretty good. The actual product was very poor... the cover was broken and to me the book looks like it's used. The sheets look old and the ink makes it difficult to read.

Matea: There is absolutely nothing I ve disliked in this book. It contains so many beautiful philosphical statements, on each page you will find something that you will wish to remember for all your life. Considering the time she has written it - it presents a master piece

CL: I find Dr. Montessori to be a very interesting person. Being she studied her work years ago, well before attention was given to the child, this book was very amazing to me.

I enjoyed reading her perspective on children and observing how life has changed so much. I think for me, one of my favorite parts of her writing is she did not have to be politically correct. Montessori wrote what she felt and observed. The rest is up to the reader.

I will point out this is a dry read. One based off of facts and and observations.

Overall I did learn a lot of Maria Montessori. I know it has changed my outlook on children and will influenced the way I go about education. A long difficult read, but one well worth it.

Lady in LA: If you care about the life of children, or you are an educator, or a parent of little ones, you owe it to yourself to know about Maria Montessori. She pioneered early childhood education in the late 1800s. She was Italy's first female MD.

She discovered then what we know scientifically now: that children do most of their key development from birth through age 5. And that sets the foundation for learning and success for the rest of their lives.

I went to a Montessori preschool and my mom had early learning materials at home. I could read and do my times tables before I started kindergarten. I'm not unique; I just had the right experience. It's a small book and a fascinating read. This is just one of several she wrote. Clearly, I'm a fan :o)

SillySeal: If you have the option to read this edition or none, then this is definitely worth it. But if given the choice between this translation and the one formally published by the Kaleshetra (I don't think that's spelled correctly) company, this is definitely a more watered-down version. Montessori was a very powerful voice, and this is a bit "softer".
