Year after year, my children and I read the children’s book Too Many Pumpkins by Linda White. Even though my older girls are middle and high school, we still read it! It has many memories attached to it, and it is a joy to relive them each fall. Too Many Pumpkins is a story of …
One of the many books my son and I enjoyed during his Kindergarten year included A Tree is Nice by Janice May Udry. It was included in his Kindergarten curriculum last year, and we have read it many times since! I find the simplicity of this book to be its most charming feature. But do …
I have read hundreds and hundreds (no exaggeration) of books with my children over the past 16+ years of mothering. With all of that reading, I simply cannot understand how The Mitten never made its way to our book stack! The Mitten by Jan Brett is such a delightful book and my almost 5-year-old and …
Even though none of my children have a beloved teddy bear, I have always enjoyed reading teddy bear books with them. Right now, my youngest boy (4 1/2) and I are enjoying The Teddy Bears’ Picnic. This particular book has very interesting illustrations! We usually spend more time talking about the pictures than we do …
I’m excited to share this little pink book with you today, as it is one that we have used on and off for years! My children and I always start our day by studying the Bible, and then we do just one more thing. We don’t have huge elaborate Morning Time or Circle Time or …
Since I teach my children a classical education, my children and I study various aspect of Western Civilization each year. As a result, we have many books about the early Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans. This neat look at the Roman Colosseum is an informative non-fiction book that is often pulled off of the shelf! If …
For many years, I loved and used the Tapestry of Grace curriculum. We created so many dear-to-my-heart memories around those books, including this inspiring story about Roger Williams. Finding Providence is a story of faith and freedom! This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy for more details. ➡ Looking for more children’s books with …
When I share children’s books with learning ideas, they are often of the fiction or non-fiction variety. However today, I have a wonderful reference or resource-type book to share with you. Non-fiction, fiction, short stories, chapter books, poetry…they all are important to read! Today’s book, Daily Life at the Time of Jesus, is a non-fiction …
One of the many joys of having multiple children is the opportunity to read books over and over. Wild About Books is one of those delightful reads that never grows old. My oldest boy – now 15 – received this book from my parents when he was 3 years old. If I had to estimate, …
I have another fascinating book to share with you today: Sea Clocks: The Story of Longitude. For many years, my children and I used the Tapestry of Grace curriculum. While it can be a bit difficult to wrap your brain around, Tapestry offers a wide selection of books for grades K through 12th. Most of …
Several years ago, my children and I rowed through Warm as Wool by Scott Russell Sanders during our Five in a Row days. I loved Five in a Row and its gentle way of learning, especially if you have mostly young children. While my children seem to remember only a few of our activities (sadly!), the …
