The Ordinary Princess Its a must read in these days of Disney princesses and the "I wanna be a princess", attitude that pervades our girls society.
I just love its tongue in cheek writing.

Both of my older two loved the maths (Earlybird and 1A/B)

From LHTH we liked the fingerplays
From LHFHG we liked the cd with the Bible verses
From Beyond we liked the emerging readers (and the last one was always our favorite!) and American Pioneers and Patriots

We haven't read many books yet, since dd is still in phonics. In LHFHG our favorite would have to be the Thornton Burgess books. Can't choose just one. We've been enjoying them all. I have to mention that the 101 Favorite Stories From the Bible is also a favorite and very important to dd's learning. Sorry, I gave more than one :lol: This is too hard to answer.

So hard!

Let's see:
LHTH: both Bibles
LHFHG: probably the story time books-all of them! They taught so many great lessons
Beyond: Key to the Treasure
Bigger: We're finally to the ERs and I'd say that's my favorite. I've seen so much growth since we started using them. They're just perfect! Also the Eggleston Stories in History book. Our entire family has loved it since day one!
Momma to my 4 sweeties:
DD 14 - MTMM and DITHOR (completed LHFHG, Beyond, Bigger, Preparing, CTC, took a couple years off, and now she's back!)
DS 11 and DD 9 - Preparing(completed 2 rounds of LHTH, LHFHG, Beyond, and Bigger)
DD 6 - LHFHG

I know it might seem like a small peice out of all of the wonderful books, but I CANNOT read that book without the tears flowing!!! For a long time I carried it in my purse!! :)
I completely agree! :D Little Pillows is sooo precious! I can't count the times it brought me to tears too! I'm sorry I sold it with the set but look forward to using it with our youngest in a few years.
