I have just finished my list of go-alongs for SOTW2. We will be buying these books as our library service isn't great. Ideally i would like to get it down to 20 or so, so please let me know what you and your DC thought of these titles. I would like a good mix of picture books and longer chapter books. Reading level isn't an issue. Thanks

What were Castles for?

My kids liked "You Wouldn't Want to be a Viking" pretty well, so I think the others in the series would be good.

 

We also liked Macauley's Castle; it's a little long and took us a few days, but it was worth it.

 

Some others I would add to your list:

-Stories of Beowulf Told To The Children, by H. E. Marshall (and I think there are others in the series): http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?author=marshall&book=beowulf&story=_contents My son particularly liked this hero story.

 

-Our Little Celtic/Norman/Etc. Cousin of Long Ago (several in the series): http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?author=stein&book=celtic&story=_contents These were absolutely fantastic, and my children begged for more.

 

-Good Masters, Sweet Ladies: http://www.amazon.com/Masters-Ladies-Voices-Medieval-Village/dp/0763643327/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1296079462&sr=8-1 An excellent portrayal of the way different young people lived in the Middle Ages, really lets you contrast different classes.

 

-The Castle Diary of Tobias Burgess: http://www.amazon.com/Castle-Diary-Journal-Tobias-Burgess/dp/0763621641/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1296079515&sr=1-1

 

I would have a very hard time limiting it to 20 books for the Middle Ages. :)
