Turning over the schedule pages yesterday, it was so encouraging to see just 10 weeks of scheduled history left to enjoy... and to see all the signs of spring creeping into our environment.

This book is a riveting read and yet for those with sensitive children you will need to edit out some of the content... especially the portion on pgs 98-101 - the revenge killing of a young prince, it's awful!

That Tiner book: World of Biology - looks fantastic!!! I want to read it myself!! I've seen his other 2 books; but not this one-thanks for sharing it or I would not have known it was even out there!
