What's Alive?

“Are you a cat? You don’t look like a cat.”

This inviting book is a terrific companion to the Montessori living/non-Living lessons. The engaging question-and-answer format guides children through observing, comparing, and conjecturing about things in their environment. A great variation that reinforces key ideas, closing with an independent classification activity idea. Children will love the Montessori-style sorting activity at the end. Paperback, 32 pages. Ages 3 and up.
