About the Discovery Concepts series: Discovery Concepts books celebrate Montessori's curious discovery approach to learning. Maria Montessori believed "the hand is the chief teacher of the brain," encouraging students to learn by touch and created specially designed materials such as sandpaper letters to support this method. Inspired by her teachings, each book in the Discovery Concepts board book collection uses tactile enhancements to engage young children in discovering the topic at hand. Beyond the tactile elements each title is designed to capture a child's imagination and curiosity as they learn.
