JoLuRu Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 The thrift store must have had a homeschooler make a donation. I picked up, for $.50 each: The entire 15 hardcover volumes of Childcraft Encyclopedia in barely touched condition. I don't think a child owned these, or if they did they never opened them. (They're going for $80 for the used set on amazon!) 3 Ruth Heller books 2 books of science projects and a science encyclopedia A set of 8 leveled phonics readers that I've never seen, but look perfect for new reader pr Aesop's Fables, Grimm's and Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales, and Mother Goose, all beautifully illustrated A gardening with kids book A set of 5 books about American monuments (Liberty Bell, Statue of Liberty, etc.) Little House on the Prairie on CD for $1.99. We just finished reading Little House in the Big Woods aloud, so it's perfect for the car. 4 Greg Tang math story books Plus, several educational board games for $1.99 each. I did a little happy dance in the aisle! Even including 2 pairs of jeans for DS, I left the store for under $45 and with a HUGE box of books and an even HUGER grin!!

Maverick_Mom Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I spent many happy hours as a child curled up on the floor next to the bookcase reading Childcraft. That alone is an awesome find! Note to self: plan a trip to Goodwill. Soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
