... read all of Beyond's history spines from cover to cover in a few days!

I took out the HOD tubs we are not currently using, and I told the boys they could choose whatever books they wanted from the years they'd already done and read them at their leisure for fun. My oldest ds practically squealed when he saw the "long lost history books of Beyond", and promptly took them all to his room, burying himself in there and reading, reading, reading. My middle ds pounced upon the LHFHG's Thorton Burgess books, and also the Beyond Storytime books I didn't read to him last year. My oldest ds has had his eye on "those wonderful Eggleston" books from Bigger Hearts for awhile too, but I don't ever let a sibling read books from a program I'm doing with another one of our dc. I like to keep them special just for that child. But, I can tell the Eggleston books are going to get put to good use again by my oldest once my middle ds finishes Bigger Hearts. Likewise, my middle ds has been wanting to read Emmett's LHTH's "The New Bible in Pictures" again. My oldest has also been reading the PHFHG's and CtC's Extension packages too (just whichever ones he wants to), as well as the CtC read alouds we didn't read. I love that the boys love what they are reading, and can read above, below, and at their "optimum" reading level with great joy! Anyway, I just had to share how much my dc enjoy the book choices in HOD, the first time... the second time... and even sometimes the third time... they read them!

We sure do get our use out of HOD books.
In Christ,
