The Scottish Chiefs
by Jane Porter First published in 1809, this is the classic story of 14th century Scotland's greatest heroes: Sir William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. (Because of the semi-difficult language in this book, I plan on reading it to my girls at the end of third grade, rather than at the beginning where it belongs chronologically. I think the extra 8 months or so of vocabulary development will be hugely beneficial in their appreciation of this wonderful book. Sounds even better if Dad reads it!) I love the illustrations! $29.00 hc illustrated by N.C. Wyeth 504pp |

Shakespeare Stories Vol. 1
by Leon Garfield I much prefer these Shakespeare stories to the popular Tales from Shakespeare written by Charles and Mary Lamb. Garfield uses Shakespeare's own rich language in his prose, and all the words "spoken" are taken directly from Shakespeare. Even so, your third grader will be able to easily understand the stories. This volume contains: Twelfth Night, King Lear, The Tempest, The Merchant of Venice, King Richard the 2nd, King Henry IV pt 1, Hamlet, Romeo & Juliet, Othello, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Macbeth. Enjoy! $17.00 287pp |

Joan of Arc Diane Stanley's beautifully written and illustrated book about the life of the "Maid of Orleans". $6.95 pb 48pp (Most libraries carry this book. While I think it is important to have most books sitting on my shelves for easy access to little hands over the years, if you need to cut costs, I would cut here.) |

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.) $4.50 pb |

The United States of America I wish you could see the wonderful illustrations in this book! While trying to find a replacement for the State Sticker Book (which was to be the spine of the 3rd grade state study) 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. $5.95 pb 64pp |

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. $4.95 pb 64pp |
