Substitution for Pedro's Journal in Preparing

[MommyMc]

If my son just finished Bigger w/extensions, is there a recommended substitution for Pedro's Journal to use in Preparing? If not, we'll just use it. He has already read 1/2 to 2/3 of the books in Preparing and I still think it's a good study. But, since this repeat was one that many using HOD will have, I didn't know if there was a planned alternative. Thanks!

What about readingColumbus by Ingri and Edgar D'Aulaire? AND if that is too quick of a read or you have already read it what about The Discovery of the Americas by Betsy and Giulio Maestro?

He's read Columbus by D'Aulaire quite a few times. (We have that D'Aulaire set with Columbus, Benjamin Franklin, Leif the Lucky, etc...) And I think that it's scheduled for him this year anyway. But, I'll have to see about the other one. Thanks for the suggestions!

Also curious if there was an "official" suggestion for those who had used Pedro's Journal in the Bigger extensions that might go along with the suggested activities.
