4Kiddos Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) I can't seem to get any responses on the FIAR forums so I thought I would try here. Does anyone know of any substiutes for the out of print titles in B4FIAR and FIAR that might be similar? Are there any? I am trying to find the titles for the fall. Here are the titles I need to find: B4FIAR: My Blue Boat The Quiet Way Home Jenny's Surprise Summer FIAR: The Giraffe Walked to Paris Babar, To Duet or Not to Duet Andy and the Circus Climbing Kansas Mountains Thanks in advance!:001_smile: Edited June 13, 2012 by Mommyof3boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acorn Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Some titles we will skip. Some I got ILL or bought from Purple. House Press. For Giraffe that Walked to Paris, we read Zarafa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 We skipped them, or managed to find them at the library. You can also check used book stores (I saw Babar at my local one the last time I went, actually) or something like HPB.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry in OH Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 The Quiet Way Home - The Listening Walk by Paul Showers Jenny's Surprise Summer - This is a Golden Book, sometimes you can find it as part of a lot of Golden Books on E-bay. There is an adaptation called Kittens for Keeps (also OOP). The Giraffe Walked to Paris - Zarafa by Judith St. George Babar, To Duet or Not to Duet - watch on You-tube. The book is based on the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALB Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 We skipped them, except for Jenny's Surprise Summer and My Blue Boat which our generous grandparents found and purchased for us. I would just suggest looking at homeschoolshare.com for ideas of book unit studies in that age group. They have lapbooks and activities for almost all the B4FIAR and FIAR titles, plus TONS more. Its really a nice resource. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyerin Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 We plan to read Zarafa for The Giraffe that Walked to Paris. Otherwise, I plan to skip them. We have volumes 1-3 to pick and choose between for the next couple of years, so we'll have no trouble finding enough books to row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I haven't done B4FIAR, so can't comment on that. Below are my recommendations for the others: FIAR: The Giraffe Walked to Paris PP mentioned the one by Zarafa Babar, To Duet or Not to Duet Skip this one. IMO, not the same quality as the other FIAR books Andy and the Circus I don't know of a substitute, but I want to mention that this is a really long book. I was doing it with a 4yo, and I couldn't have done just as well without it for that age. Climbing Kansas Mountains Didn't do this one, so I cannot comment.
