Andrew recommends...

Don't you love when kids finish a book and say 'That was the best book I've ever read' and they say it after every book they read? : ) I think it's precious. I often feel that way myself when I've just finished a really great book.


Our boys have all LOVED the Great Illustrated Classics series. (I always look for them at used book sales but I've also found them at Wal*Mart and Michael's, of all places!)


Today Andrew clarified that his favorite Illustrated Classic is Call of the Wild but
his favorite book of all time (so far) is:
Billy Sunday: Runner for the Lord

(an A Beka reader)

He love, love, loved this book!
Give it a try! : )

Fun Books!

We've stumbled across these books by Jean Fritz and we just love them.



If you are doing a unit study on the Revolutionary War and the birth of our nation then you'll enjoy these. They bring out interesting details about these famous men.
They are also available as videos.

We got a kick out of the one about John Hancock! I guess he was rather vain...

My kids might say these books bring out too many details after today.
We were reading Where was Patrick Henry on the 29th of May? and it mentioned that one man who knew Patrick Henry remembered that 'he always wore clean underwear.'
I had to read that again to make sure I'd read that correctly and then I couldn't help laughing...
I think that would fall under TMI!
Too funny!

Anyway, great books! We are enjoying them.
And lets hope we will all be remembered for more than our clean underwear someday. LOL!
