KristineIN Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 and are loving them. Are there other older classic books like these that I am unaware of? Thanks, Kristine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Dover Press carries a bunch of these very inexpensively. We love them, too! Regena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy from WT Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Check out http://www.mainlesson.com. It's a treasure trove of stories like these! And all free...wow! Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie in MS Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 These are used in Heart of Dakota's Little Hearts for His Glory and I am chomping at the bit for my dd to be old enough to enjoy them! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg_puppy Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Another good place to look is google books. My dd and I just started Ambleside year 1 this week and we have both enjoyed the stories that we have read. Old Fashioned Education has some good suggestions. Just look in the literature section.

Jane in NC Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 If you are ever on Cape Cod, be sure to visit the Green Briar Nature Center and Thorton Burgess Museum. You can see some original Cady illustrations and walk along the edge of the pond where Grandfather Frog lived. http://www.thorntonburgess.org/Green%20Briar.htm On a book note, my son also adored Uncle Wiggily. (Just watch out for the big, bad Pipsisewah!) Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Great White North Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 but not as old as Burgess, is the Famous Five series by Enid Blyton. I've never seen one in a book store, but the library had a few. My kids loved them when they were 10-11. They are mysteries that a group of English children solve. She also wrote a younger series about the Secret Seven, that are between Encyclopedia Brown and the Hardy boys in reading level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIN Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Amy from WT - Do you print these books to read or have your children read them on the computer? This resource looks wonderful, I'm just not sure how to use it best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy from WT Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 KIN - I guess it just depends on what you prefer! I prefer printed materials, so I print out whatever stories we use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIN Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 O.K., another question: Do you put the stories in a 3-ring binder or bind them another way? Are they are full sheets of paper? Guess that was two questions! :) BTW, I just had to share that I read through WT 1 Sunday night and I love it! I'm so excited to start it this fall!

Julie in GA Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I can't wait for "Kindle" to come down in price so that we can download and read all those lovely free and public domain books that are available. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
