The Apprentice
AuthorPilar Molina Llorente

Given a challenge to read a book set in the Renaissance, I hit our school library card catalog hoping to find a few options for a quick read. I found one. One book set in the Renaissance. This book.

The Usborne Book of Living Long Ago (Explainers)
AuthorHelen Edom
ISBN0746011091
This is one of my favorite Usborne books from my childhood. Well, we actually had it as individual books, and only of the first three sections, so I was even more excited to see a version where they're all together. I don't know whether this was ever used in my schooling or not -- it probably was, but what I...
Peter the Great
AuthorDiane Stanley
A very short book about Peter the Great - the Tsar who drug Russia (kicking and screaming) into more modern times.

Missionary Stories with the Millers
AuthorMildred A. Martin

Greek Myths For Young Children
AuthorHeather Amery

4 stars

One of very many children’s books on Greek mythology, I picked this one up mainly because it’s Usborne (I grew up on Usborne books and I have a certain amount of loyalty to them despite the fact that they keep putting out gendered shit like this) and because the pictures inside...

Dolphin Adventure
AuthorWayne Grover

One thing I truly enjoy about being a homeschooling mom is access to books via the curriculum we've chosen; which, for us, has meant Sonlight. "Dolphin Adventure", like so many other books we've received through that route, did not disappoint!
