Montessori Madness
Trevor Eissler on Montessori for parents, built out of what he saw in classrooms rather than out of theory. 242 pages, soft cover, 2009 edition. It is the book to hand to someone who has heard the word and is sceptical: anecdotes are what change minds where principles do not, and a parent who has been told that children choose their own work usually wants to know what that looked like on a Tuesday morning. Paper and cardstock, for adults.
