| 2. |  | The Story of the World: History for the Classical Child; Volume 1: Ancient Times (Story of the World: History for the Classical Child)
from W. W. Norton & Company
Customer Review:
I foolishly purchased this book before reading the reviews and was struck straight away at how the author carelessly alternates between historical fact and myths and legends. I was very disappointed in this as children need to know that there is a very important difference, and how to tell the... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 3. | ![]() | The Read-Aloud Handbook
from Peter Smith Pub Inc
Price: $29.25
Customer Review:
This is a great gift for a baby shower. It encourages parents to read to kids from birth and tells them why it is important. It then gives book titles for every age and summaries of each book. I read to all 3 of my sons until they were seniors in high school. They all have doctoral degrees or are... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from W.W. Norton & Co.
Price: $26.37
Customer Review:
The Well-Trained Mind (TWTM) is a detailed "how-to" manual for a popular reinterpretation of classical home schooling.

| 7. |  | Your Child's Strengths: Discover Them, Develop Them, Use Them
from Viking Adult
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
Concerned this book would be another book that would encourage me to ignore my child's weakness, I went to ParentsDigest and downloaded the summary instead. I'm a realist, and don't buy into the idea of pretending my child is perfect in order to feel better about myself. The reality is, my child... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Positive Discipline: The First Three Years-Laying the Foundation for Raising a Capable, Confident Child
from Three Rivers Press
Customer Review:
I read (and unfortunately bought) this book ... and it does say you should not let your child sleep in your bed. It may not say you have to wean by 12 months, but it does suggest you look for weaning signs at that time ... AND THEN a paragraph or two later mentions that if you decide to breastfeed... more info | 3.5 / 5.0
