Amber in AUS Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 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 The Orchard book of Roman Myths Favorite Celtic Fairytales What were Castles for? The Miracle of Saint Nicholas Indian Tales Muslin Child The ChI-Lin Purse Who were the Vikings? Viking Tales DK Knight The Adventures of Robin Hood Liang and the Magic Paintbrush Baboushka and the Three Kings The Girl Who Lost her smile Sundiata Bard of Avon Ancient Celts (people of the ancient world) Beowulf the Warrior Canterbury Tales Days of the Knights Galileo Good Queen Bess Joan of Arc Knight at Dawn Marco Polo for Kids Otto of the Silver Hand Story of Islam Viking Ships at Sunrise You wouldn't want to be a Samurai!

mom2boys030507 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 My boys love all of the "You wouldn't want to be...." books. They both enjoyed Viking Ships at Sunrise We are also planning on reading Bard of Avon, Adeventures of Robin Hood, What were castles for? this year. We have also plan to read Castle and Cathedral by David Macaulay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 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. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
