Price: $16.47
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

from Peace Hill Press

Customer Review:
This workbook is helpful and helps generate creative teaching ideas. However, I didn't find it as helpful as the actual history book itself. Good for people who needs ideas on how to make history fun and fresh for little kids.

from Houghton Mifflin/Walter Lorraine Books
Price: $9.95
Customer Review:
I was reminded the other day how much I used to love these books when I was a kid so I bought a couple of them. They're still great - and surprisingly dense. I liked the pictures when I was young; now I like the extremely detailed explanation of each step of the process of building.
Cathedral's... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Minimus Pupil's Book: Starting out in Latin
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $15.64
Customer Review:
This fun book couldn't be a more outstanding tool for teaching your kids Latin. It starts with a comic-strip style story often narrated by the mouse Minimus. The comic uses a lot of repetition to help the kids retain words. Then the chapter continues with vocabulary and grammer which ties in closely... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
