A Parents' Guide to Classical Education and Home Schooling information for all concerned parents, by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer. Science Activities Vol. 2 First Grade World Geography Time Traveler Starting Point Science Vol. Science Activities Vol. Second Grade World History Book of Knowledge Science Activities Vol.
Every page has fascination tidbits of information.
The format reminds you of a combination of Ripley's Believe It or Not and magazine illustrations. Best of all, you can find an Usborne Book for just about every subject area. Though they are not in the strictest sense textbooks, they cover all the same information as regular textbooks, plus some. Our own family, quite frankly, uses them in place of a regular science program. Just leave some lying around the house, and the kids will teach it all to themselves.
