Homeschooling Tip of the Day

Both Mrs. G's kids really liked the True Book geography series. Mrs. G. bought them all and has packed then up to save for her grandchildren or change-0f-life baby. She never wants to part with them.

These books are full of good information, but not too overwhelming like many geography books for children can be. The pages aren't too busy...

and the pictures are gorgeous.

Mrs. G's kids would read one every couple of weeks, and they would subsidize and enrich the information by studying maps or watching a related movie or documentary. They never passed up an opportunity to cook at least dish from each country's cuisine. The G's did a lot of schooling in the kitchen. Actually, they still do.

I did the same as kcinnova and went right for the baby.

Moving right along...

I love the look of these books and will half.com them as soon as I click away.

Mrs. G, have I ever told you how glad I am to have found you?

These look great.

If the Ass Project stays on schedule there may, indeed, be reason to get these out again.

These are big favorites of ours, too! We do a new country each month with our geography co-op and these books are our life-line!

Now...about that baby...!!
