Oh my gosh, my daughter would absolutely love the Melissa and Doug sushi play set. She’s only 3 but is obsessed with all things sushi! We’re a bit behind on the reading challenge because of VBS last week, but I’m hoping we can catch up this week. Thank you for the great video clips. They look like so much fun. 🙂

No rush, Shelly, come back to it when it works for you! We’ve had fun putting it all together.
Thank you for compiling such a great combination of things in one place! I plan on using this series this fall for a geography class that is forming with a few homeschooling families from our church. This will be perfect for the younger ones!
That sounds wonderful, April!
Trisha is just lovely!! My family is enjoying our global book travels and my daughter (11) is loving your book as much as I am. Is there any way to buy at copy of Give Your Child the Ancient World if we missed that?

I love ‘meeting’ your kids and my two loved the Japanese bedroom video. They couldn’t get over the remote control light 😉
Sarah M’s latest post: July Titles Read (2016)
I am really enjoying expanding my children’s literature exposure to the world! I also have found many books to read for myself that I will share with my kids when they get older. I feel like this book will give us many years of reading pleasure and exploration. I like the videos, maps and recipes you share too. I am excited to use this book in our homeschool. Thank you for making this resource. It’s fabulous!
My book is on order and I can not wait to receive it. Looking forward to my summer reading and reading the world with my tween age girls.
I really can’t thank you enough, Asia has been our best week so far… just dived in and read and read and feasted on little treats, it has been fabulous and a real inspiration for my kids to dig a little deeper and explore a whole lot more. Thank you so much for all the hard work that went into putting this project together, we are loving it!!!
