Scrub Jay Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 My library does not carry these (which is beyond frustrating since I live in a huge city). Besides paying gobs of $ for them on PBS, is there another way to view these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarynB Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 The only other place I've seen them is on Discovery Education, if you happen to subscribe to that. Personally, I wouldn't buy them - we did not care for them much. Sorry not to be more help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelBee Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Never thought to check there! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrub Jay Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks. Did you like the books but not the show? Or did you just not like any of it? I really liked the examples on Hakim's site so I know the books will be a good match for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoPlaceLikeHome Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 There are audiobook versions of all the History of US books by Hakim on audible.com which are quite enjoyable. We have them all! They are good for car trips and at other times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrub Jay Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yes, I'm planning on getting those as well for reinforcement. We're in the car a lot! I do have The Story of Us. Maybe I'll try to pair it with Hakim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwg Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I did not know about these. We are planning on using it next year. Thanks. Can you watch it here? http://www.pbs.org/wnet/historyofus/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrub Jay Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 They just have webisodes on the site. I guess we'll have to settle for just those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwg Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Oh sorry :( Maybe someone else will chime in. I have had good luck with asking the library to purchase materials I need if you do not need it too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
