Thanks for the link to Ancient Explorations, Julie. I guess I don't use the word "spine" correctly. Isn't AE a history schedule, and Usborne and SOTW are used as the main texts? I'm looking for books other than those to use as main texts (because I am a difficult, difficult woman who just wants what I want - so there!). :D
Also, your second link to the picture books isn't working for me. I also love recommendations for more books. Would you mind fixing the link? Pretty please?

I don't know why this should be such a difficult choice for me, but I'm having a really hard time here. We will be supplementing with many picture books and encyclopedias, but I was hoping to find a narrative history "spine" (I'm not sure that I know what that word means in this context, but I see it here quite a bit). :001_huh:
Anyway, I know that I don't want SOTW or CHOW. I'm looking for something secular. I was thinking about the Pearson Core Knowledge books. Is there anything else that I'm overlooking?

These days I use Evernote for almost everything I encounter online and irl that I need to remember or reference later. I have the files tagged and organized on my laptop, on an online web account and on my iPhone. If I have internet access or a working phone network, I am good to go. I can look up ideas by grade, subject or season (holiday type stuff), look up my booklists for things I want to read, find recipes, look up measurements and sizes, search for restaurant menus, you name it.
While I'm out with my iPhone, I can take a picture of a note, sign, or book, and Evernote will identify the words in the picture, so it's immediately searchable, even if I've forgotten to tag the image. It is the best thing ever.
And it's FREE. :D

This is an awesome post. Thank you for writing this out. My 5yo ds has SPD and vision processing-related handwriting issues. We're currently seeing an OT, but I given how difficult writing is with him, I've been wondering how I need to handle it in coming years. Your post is very helpful. I'm Evernoting it for my notebooks. :D

Yup. The World in Ancient Times is in my Amazon cart, and ds will probably enjoy flipping through all the books. But I'm getting those mostly to have as a reference set (for me as I don't remember much history - ahem). I think I've made my peace with SOTW for this go around. Dh will be so pleased, because if you think I've bugged you guys enough about this, you should see the pained expression he has when I say, "So what do you think about using this for history next year?"
