The Apprentice
AuthorPilar Molina Llorente
ISBN0374404321
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. So I read it. I'm sure it is one of those books that rarely gets checked out because the cover looks dated, and the...
Sticks Across the Chimney: A Story of Denmark
AuthorNora Burglon
ISBN1892857138
I read this aloud to my daughter, and we all fell in love with it. This book is another example of a book I would have never picked up if it wasn't for being a part of the homeschool curriculum we use. It was delightful to step back in time to a different country and see what it was like to live as a child at the end...

The Usborne Book of World History
AuthorAnne Millard
ISBN0860209598
Great introductory text to build on for elementary age; good review for high school students or adults who want to reconnect with some dates or expand their horizons into cultures they haven't studied.

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. This is a children's book, so it is not very detailed, but the artwork is beautiful and there is enough information to whet the appetite about a historical figure whose name I knew, but not much...

Tales of Robin Hood
AuthorTony Allan

I absoluetly loved Tales of Robin Hood! I was laughing, crying and in the midst of this intense story! I now want to read the original book.

Missionary Stories with the Millers
AuthorMildred A. Martin
ISBN0962764345
Sad to see this book end. While reading it to my 7yr old, my 10yr old daughter would always listen with one ear open while she was supposed to be reading her own school books. I can't rave enough about it! It engaged us in true stories of missionaries across the globe throughout many centuries of time. It demostrates...

Leading Little Ones to God: A Child's Book of Bible Teachings
AuthorMarian M. Schoolland
ISBN0802851207
Two stars looks a bit harsh but I am following the Goodreads definition - 'It was OK'. I wasn't reading it with kids and I wasn't reading it as slowly as it was meant, so perhaps I am not really in a position to judge, especially when I see so many other people have rated it highly and claim to have used it effectively...
