The Best Montessori Books Babies, Toddlers, Preschoolers, Elementary

If you are looking for great Montessori books to both educate and bring pleasure to your children you have come to the right place. A few years ago I culled our shelves of almost all of the non-living books. I kept books that I knew my children would love for many years to come and could easily be passed down for generations because they are THAT GOOD. When it comes to great books I could talk for hours… But you’re probably thinking bring on the great books.

If you take the time to read with your children every day you are giving them one of the greatest gifts you can give. 

I am sure I could easily add 100 more books to this list. In this house, we absolutely love reading. I really tried to narrow it down and give you a variety of our favorites. These books have been loved over the years with our family and many others. I hope you find a few new treasures for your bookshelves.

We have been having a blast celebrating Read Across America and wanted to share a great free reading log for you. This is a great way to remember your child’s favorite books. If you homeschool this is also a great list to share for your review. I do them for my children every year and we love to look back and remember our favorites.
