SonshineLearner Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I just bought the 4 books that are 4 books in 1 at Costco... I'm so excited!! I didn't want to spend so much on each books.... so $7.99 or so for 4 books was a great deal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeganW Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Most of them are 4-for-the-price-of-3 on Amazon as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momsuz123 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Kathryn - thanks so much!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 You're welcome! I went based on the dates that I found in the books. If there is a question mark, there was no particular date given in what I could see from the Amazon preview or the whole book if I got it from the library. I see that the four that weren't yet out when I made the list are now out. On Amazon, the little blurbs give the dates as: You Wouldn’t Want To Be A Ninja Warrior! says mid-16th century You Wouldn’t Want To Be Cursed by King Tut!says 1922 You Wouldn’t Want To Be A Pony Express Rider! says 1860 You Wouldn’t Want To Work On The Hoover Dam! says 1920s I'm not sure about the Hoover Dam one, since construction began in 1931.

quark Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 has anybody matched these up with sotw? This list was compiled in 2008 and may not include the latest titles (if any) but it is organized by geographical area + time period. It may help if you are looking to match titles with SOTW: http://www.funschooling.net/2008/10/you-wouldnt-want-to-bemissing-these.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
