Review: Montessori from the Start: The Child at Home, from Birth to Age Three

Montessori from the Start: The Child at Home, from Birth to Age Three by Paula Polk Lillard
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Great overview if you're thinking of enrolling your child in a Montessori school or something along those lines. If you're looking for a How-to guide, or a book teaching you how to use the Montessori method with your kids, this probably isn't the best choice. It seems to jump around and touch on many different aspects generally. Some anecdotes are strewn about, otherwise it tends to just state what to do and what not to do.

It gave me a pretty clear idea as to what the Montessori method is all about, but not enough detail to implement much of it myself. It's not necessarily chronological, and doesn't necessarily end at age 3.
