Quotes About This Product

"I was thrilled to see this new book on lighthouses. I knew right away it would be good, but I had no clue how good it truly was! There is nothing for me to do as a teacher other than enjoy and study right along with my children..." Homeschool Mom "I used this 4-week study with my 5th, 2nd, and kindergarteners. We had a wonderful time with this! The study did a wonderful job including history, geography, science, and literature. It relied mostly on the internet as a resource and I was thrilled to find that all but two of the many, many of the websites she referred us to actually worked. The activities to go along with this were fun, memorable for the children, and will help us review for years to come."   Homeschool Mom
