Some people say that a good book is your best friend. I think a good book is a gateway to the world. Sitting in one corner of the library we can see the world, travel in our imaginations. Aha ! Imaginations ! Now, it is our very big responsibility to guide and direct our child's imagination. Montessori philosophy abstains every child from a fantasy world. For some people this could sound contradictory but I have explained this in my next blog. Reason behind is that the child's brain is growing at a fast speed, it's absorbing knowledge from the environment. For him to serve the community, family and be a strong independent person it's important to know facts. Facts that can be understood with a logical reasoning. Hm, wonder if fairy tales give some logical reasoning to their stories ! So, we have to enlighten a child's brain, sooth his heart with the facts of the world. Our world which is so beautiful. It has flowers, waterfalls, mountains, animals, family and friends. Aha ! Our beautiful world !
Below is the list of books which can reflect the facts and beauty of the life and are perfect for a child.
