Another addition to the Little People collection. Wonderful illustrations add to the story about a woman who wanted to gain a proper education herself and help children to learn.

The things you learn by reading this little series of picture books for young children. I didn't know that Maria Montessori was a woman. I had always admired the MOntessori schools, and I find it heartening that a woman had the foresight to come up with them.

It is a very small book, so there isn't a lot of room to cram in info, but what they did include about her worked with the disabled, and how she was the first woman to go to medical school, in in Italy.

It is a quick look at a famous woman, and hopefully this quick a look will make it easier for a bunch of other states.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Maria Montessori by Isabel Sanchez Vegara is a wonderful little book about the creator of Montessori method. It gives a young reader all the basic information on the life of Maria Montessori and an idea of what her teaching method is all about.

The illustrations by Raquel Martin are clear and beautiful and work nicely with the text.

However, the version I was reviewing had some errors. The spread showing Maria as an assistant doctor in a mental hospital has a text in the lower right corner, which clearly doesn't belong there. In the end of the book, there is an info spread about Muhammad Ali instead of Maria Montessori... I'm sure these mistakes will be corrected before the publication.

I am so glad this book series exists. The illustrations are gorgeous and they are such an easy and fun way to get very young children interested in history early on while inspiring them with stories of little people who have changed the world in their own ways. Maria Montessori is a terrific role model for young minds. Maria shows that woman can do anything they put their minds to and all children are capable of learning and succeeding in their own way.

However, the last few pages are about Mohammed Ali due to some editing error.

Cute with bright colors and kids of all types represented. Presents enough information to spark questions in a young learner, but not so much that will overwhelm them. Looking forward to reading more from this series!
Thanks to Netgalley for supplying this e-ARC.

A perfect little intro book for the young readers. Maria Montessori - not your average subject matter. Refreshing change from the standard early biography books. The writing was engaging, a bit humorous and a great intro. It would be a great book to jump off of into a meatier book. There are other books in this series and I will be adding them to my school library. Thanks Net Galley for the advanced copy. What a delight!

This book is a great introduction to a famous person in history. I enjoy the book as it was informative about the beginning of her life but sends an important message about not giving up! It is an easy read and a child over 6 would be able to read it independently. The illustrations are simple but support the story well. It is a good book in which to have a discussion about and if you are interested in the person, a child who is reading this can explore the subject further. I look forward to reading more of these stories. Thank you net galley for letting me review this book.

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with an ARC of this book.

As with the other titles in this series, this is a vibrantly illustrated account of the life of Maria Montessori. It would be suitable to use with primary age children and would be a good starting point for discussion about how people learn, if there is one right way to learn as well as equal rights to accessing a quality education.
The text is laid out clearly and the illustrations are an excellent companion to the story.

Definitely one to add to the class library!

Forget about this being a book for childre, this is a book that should be issued to every teacher while training or at graduation in order for it to stand as the guiding light for what education should look like.
I love the message of overcoming difficulties and perseverance; its something that is so valuable as a lesson to instill a sense of humbleness within the next generation.
As always, a perfect read to add to the collection.

This series is always a joy to read, it’s a really nice introduction to well known people for little children. Of course the plot is always a little bit fast but that’s to be expected and it’s totally understandable.
This book shows children the story of one incredible woman, Maria Montessori, a researcher and teacher who was very important for how we learn today. She thought that a good way for children to learn was to use games and fun activities and it totally worked. Her methods are still used today and they have shown great results with children. I think children might enjoy learning the history of some of the teaching methods they use every day.
