Montessori: Planet Work - by Bobby George (Board Book)

About the Book

"As with all things Montessori, students begin with the concrete and move to the abstract. Montessori: Planet Work introduces readers to the sun at the center of our solar system before moving outward to the eight planets. Each planet is textured for greater interactivity, and a final gatefold spread gives added spatial context. Young children will absorb the age-appropriate information and gain a better sense of their place in the universe"--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis

Learn the planets the Montessori way! Based on the proven Montessori teaching method, Montessori: Planet Work introduces young readers to our solar system, starting with the sun at the center before moving outward to each of the eight planets--featuring illustrations by Alyssa Nassner.

Each planet is textured for greater interactivity, and a final gatefold spread reveals the sun and all eight planets for added spatial context.

Written by Bobby and June George, founders of the Baan Dek Montessori School, the Montessori series introduces young readers to key concepts by beginning with the concrete and moving to the abstract. With each book, young readers absorb age-appropriate information and gain a better understanding of the world around them.
