Young Montessori students contributed illustrations that Wolf used to illustrate this marvelous picture book about how a Montessori classroom works. The pictures and writing are geared toward Montessori Children's House, ages 3-6. However, I read this book to my lower elementary students, ages 6-9, because I knew that they would enjoy seeing a book illustrated by young students and that they would enjoy a book about a Montessori classroom. My students recognized the Montessori materials that they had used in Children's House. Definitely recommend this book! It could serve as inspiration and a model for students to create a similar book of their own.

I read this book to the parents on "What is Montessori?" night...It says it all!

This was in one of my Montessori classrooms, so I read it to the kids. It was okay.
