Good book of stories that teachers, especially Montessori ones, can use to help foster interest in learning. Not are all are for every age group but some can be adapted. Some are told differently than the way I’ve told them so it was interesting to see the difference.

I could not teach without this book, it is a must-have. All the Montessori stories are here, plus some new ones.
