One More Question LHFHG

Post by cpresz » Sat Apr 30, 2011 5:34 pm

I'm pricing out the book list from the HOD website vs. Amazon and other sources. I actually have one of the books from the Economy package already (History Stories for Children), so I'm princing everything individually. I'm not using Singapore Math, so buying the package deal won't be to my advantage.
I'm wondering if the stories from the Story Time Set in LHFHG are common enough to get them at the library or for free (or super cheap) on the Kindle store? It's hard to tell from the website which stories are used.
I don't necessarily need a list, but more an idea - can I find all the stories for free via the Kindle store or my library (which is very good, btw), or is it worth spending the $17.50 for those stories?

Thanks in advance!
Christan

Here is an excerpt from LHFHG's intro that tells which books are used for storytime:
Thornton Burgess Animal Stories Books:
The Adventures of Reddy Fox (Dover, 1991)
The Adventures of Peter Cottontail (Dover, 1991)
The Adventures of Danny Meadow Mouse (Dover, 1993)
The Adventures of Grandfather Frog (Dover, 1992)
The Adventures of Chatterer The Red Squirrel (Dover, 1992)
The Adventures of Buster Bear (Dover, 1993)
The Adventures of Jerry Muskrat (Dover, 1993)
Peter Rabbit and Other Favorite Tales by Beatrix Potter (Dover, 1994)

We really enjoyed all of these books so much that they are ones that we have wanted to keep and read again.

Just to let you know too in case you weren't aware, you can make one substitution in the Economy package of LHFHG and still get the package price. So if you only have one of the items already, this could be a much better deal for you and would help support HOD. Here is what it says in the catalog of how to make a substitution:
We understand that you may already own some of the titles in our packages, so we are now allowing substitutions within our packages to enable you to always take advantage of the package discounts. This is easy to do online. Simply add the package that contains the book(s) that you already own to your shopping cart, and then enter the title that you wish to substitute in the "ordering Instructions" box on our website at checkout. You may make a "one for one" substitution with any book that we offer of equal or lesser value to the book(s) you already own, and still receive the package discount!
For LHFHG, one substitution is allowed. I hope that helps! :D
