DaffodilDreams Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 to present day. Dd will be in 4th on paper but can handle above grade level content and challenging writing. She also still enjoys beautifully written and illustrated picture books. So, I'm open to quite a range. Please help me plan next year by sharing your favorites! Yes, I've looked at several booklists from various providers; I'm interested in hearing what you and your children have truly enjoyed. Thanks!

King Alfred Academy Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 My boys and I really enjoyed A Pioneer Sampler by Barbara Greenwood. There is a narrated story as you follow a pioneer family from 1840 throughout their daily life and then it goes into detail about specifics such as milking, dying wool, threshing, storing corn, etc. There are directions for activities and projects as well. The illustrations are lovely. ETA: We also enjoyed Sign of the Beaver and Once Upon this Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter already wants a family cow to milk, so I'm sure she would love A Pioneer Sampler! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
