The Book of Centuries-
This is the fun and useful way for your child to reinforce his
learning. Have him record what he learns in his own Book of
Centuries- a timeline in a book- which will become a treasured
companion!
At the top of each page is an area for the title (where the child
writes in the name of the person/event/geographical concept
being studied) and relevant dates. There is also a
timeline on which the child can make a 'dot' in the appropriate
place.
On each page are four boxes in which the child can place things
that will reinforce the importance of the subject. (Those of you
who like lapbooking will have great ideas, I'm sure!) The
boxes can contain pictures of the subject, lists, maps, quotes,
causes & effects, flora and fauna, monuments, architecture, etc.
Click here for pictures and more information.
This item is a pdf
file which will be emailed to you- you need to make sure you
enter a valid email address when ordering. Thanks!

America's Paul Revere
I wanted to offer a
less expensive book on Revere, but this one was so good that I had to go
with it. Written by Esther Forbes, author of Johnny Tremain.

The
Boy Who Loved to Draw
Set in the American
colonial era, this is the story of the noted painter who is considered to be
the 'father' of American art, Benjamin West (1738-1820). Of course,
colonial type illustrations accompany the story on every page!

Louis Braille
Another wonderfully written biography by Margaret Davidson. I
tested this book on a girl who did not like to read. I was pleased
when, instead of complaining, she actually asked to read the next chapter
each day. (An added benefit is that any child who listens to/reads
this book will gain an appreciation for safety around sharp objects.)

The Reb and the Redcoats
This book set during
the Revolutionary War is unusual in that it is told from the viewpoint of a
British family who is entrusted with the care of an American prisoner of
war. Heartwarming!
Christian themes.

How the U.S. Government Works
This book gives simple explanation of the three
branches of our government, and what they do. It is the best book on
the subject that I've come across. However, it is more suited to a
middle-schooler than to an elementary-grade student. When teaching
younger children, I usually use this book as a resource for me- I read a
section and then explain the concept (using the chalkboard as a visual help)
in my own words.

The United States of America
I wish you could see
the wonderful illustrations in this book! I had several "state" books
covering tables, floors, etc. This is the one my girls could not leave
alone. Each state is beautifully drawn; mountains, rivers and major
cities are all visible. Each state also has charming pictures of its
state bird, flower, tree etc. along with pertinent interesting facts.

Pocahontas/John Smith story. (Those of you who have read Bulla's other
books know why!)

The State Sticker Book
We now have The State Sticker Book
which was originally a part of the 3rd grade curriculum! After waiting
nearly a year for this wonderful book, the publishing company finally
reprinted it! This book is outstanding for teaching
elementary students about the different states in our great country.
Each state is covered on one page with info such as state motto, bird,
capital, interesting facts and trivia. Along with fun "cartoony"
pictures, there are stickers of state flowers, flags, and capitals. In
the back of the book there is a "Capital Matching" game, information about
the United States, national symbols, holidays, and the words to our
national anthem. A fun learning tool at an unbeatable price.
-You only need either this book or
the one above called The United States of America. However,
both are great.
