Dr. Montessori's Own Handbook
by Maria Montessori
Paperback
Publisher: Schocken Books; (October 1988)
ASIN: 0805200983

A short, illustrated guide to the use of Montessori classroom materials.
Describes how to set up a "children's house" - an environment for learning
where children can be their own masters

Reviews:
This short book is like an Army basic training manual. Montessori teaching
methods are described in detail, like recipes in a cookbook. An interesting
section on food for children recommends large amounts of fat and sugar foods
and therefore seems outdated. The systematic order achieved by the method is
described as desirable while too much variety and child/teacher interaction
is regarded as undesirable. The book warns that over-stimulating a child's
imagination could cause him or her to miss the purpose of the lessons (tell
that to Barney). The author's works have a ring of truth throughout and are
valuable because of the spirit they convey even today.
