The Montessori approach to learning extremely popular and its method of teaching through interactive play, in particular, has been used by White Star to create 'My First Book of Colors' and 'My First Book of the Shapes', fun, stimulating books for children aged 2-4. They have been designed according to Montessori educational and academic principles and have been created especially to enhance the cognitive development of the reader. Developed using progressive complexity, 'My First Book of the Colors' encourages children to learn to name different colours, and then put into practice what they have learnt by colouring in with the correct colour. Finally the book helps them build on stages one and two to combine what they have learnt with things they might already know, allowing for independent play and a fun learning experience. Developed using progressive complexity, 'My First Book of the Shapes' encourages children to learn to identify different shapes, and then put into practice what they have learnt by connecting similar shapes and grouping related shapes together. Finally the book helps them build on stages one and two to combine what they have learnt with things they might already know, allowing for independent play and a fun learning experience.
