These titles go along with our reading of the first volume of the Story of the World by Susan Wise Bauer and The Usborne Book of World History. This upcoming school year the boys are in first grade, so we are beginning at the beginning. We're aiming for the standard four year rotating approach to history.
The board books above were chosen by my daughter. Avatar, Atomic Ace and Pirates were the boys' fun picks. I chose Seed Soil Sun as a whole family science read aloud because it coordinated so well with our summertime yard and garden projects. Poppy and Ereth is the boys' current read aloud. While we usually try to have a family-wide read aloud, the language and themes in these are too much for my three year old daughter, so my husband has been reading her bedtime stories while the boys and I work through these. Poppy and Ereth is the last in the series, but I'm consoling myself with the idea that she'll want to listen to them in a couple of years and we can start again.
