“An informal introduction to language arts with a Charlotte Mason flavour for beginning students” This delightful introduction to the language arts is the answer to what our Charlotte Mason style customers have been asking for! Introduces a student who has mastered the art of learning to read to the skills of picture study, narration, copywork, poetry, grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and more - all with a gentle, twaddle free approach. Full-color fine art throughout makes this consumable book for ages 5-9 a delight for the eyes as well as the ears. A varied approach gives the student something different each day, alleviating the boredom that often comes with those repetitive, dry grammar books you’ll find elsewhere. Perfect-bound paperback workbook offers 180 daily lessons - one for each day of the schoolyear.

In this collection of nature stories, master storyteller Jean Henri- Fabre relies upon his knowledge of nature and animals to tell us all we could ever wish to know about many different birds and animals - chickens, turkey, guinea fowl, ducks, geese, pigeons, jackals, dogs, cats, sheep, goats, oxen, pig, horses, donkeys, and much more. As with all of Fabre’s books, this volume is interesting enough to hold the interest of preschoolers, while being detailed enough in its descriptions to teach even high schoolers and adults many new things.
