This authoritative book, by a trained writer who has been most intimately associated with Dr. Montessori, tells just what American mothers, and most teachers, want to know about this system.
A simple, untechnical account of the apparatus, the method of its application, and a clear statement of the principles underlying its use.
"Fascinating reading and likely to be the most interesting to the average mother of all the many books on the subject."—Primary Plans.
"What would I not give to have had at the beginning of my children's upbringing such a guide to the fundamental principles underlying their best growth and development." Mrs. Robert M. La Follette in La Follette's Magazine.

After the publication of A Montessori Mother two years ago, Mrs. Fisher was overwhelmed with personal letters from all over the country asking special advice. Mothers and Children, running along its easy, half-humorous way, answers all these questions and gives the clue to the answer of ten thousand more.
"The Tarnishing Eye of Relations" is the title of one chapter. Some other chapters are "The Sliding Scale for Obedience"; "A New Profession for Women: Question Answerer"; "When I Am a Grandmother"; "Nurse or Mother"; Mothers-by-Chance and Mothers-by-Choice."
"A book of help for the most complicated and important enterprise in the world the rearing of children. It gives the wisdom of an expert in the language of a friend just talking."—New York Evening Post.
