ATM my brain is fried *cudgels brain* I know we had some *comes up with nothing*
So instead I'll bump this to the top and see if any of the ladies can help us out here, while I go to emerald city and look for my brains....

We enjoyed The Pioneer Sampler for science. My three girls and I are big fans of Little House on the Prairie, so that was a natural for us :) My older daughter really loved John Audubon-she is a nature enthusiast and was happy to read about a child who loved looking at and drawing nature as much as she does :) Oh and they loved Ben and Me, they found it funny :D

We just finished week 14 of Bigger, and my dd has loved all of the books! Favorites have been the Grandma's Attic series, & Baby Island. She loved Phoebe and the Spy - we read it for Drawn, and she asked for it for Christmas! Right now we're reading A Little Princess and she's loving it! So many wonderful books, we're both loving it! :D

All of the science was my DD's favorite part of Bigger. With the One Square Books we always do the shoe box thing. She's in Preparing and while it doesn't suggest doing it with Desert we are making it.

We LOVED Baby Island! Also Tucker's Countryside, Phyliss Wheatley, and Farmer Boy. We enjoyed Tucker's Countryside so much that we finished it early and read Chester Cricket's New Home as well... :)

Carrie has chosen excellent books!

Thanks for your replies. I have a few, but not all of the books. I know Pioneer Sampler looks so wonderful. I personally can't wait for that one myself! I don't want to get ahead of myself by ordering and then not getting to them, KWIM? So I wanted to start with favorites!

I just ordered Phyllis Wheatly yesterday. DD was asking about her the other day from her Liberty Kids movie.
