Christian Liberty Nature Reader 2
This book is one of 5 books. They were one of our very favorites when my children were young-they always wanted me to read more. Now that I teach homeschool classes, it is great to have these with colorful illustrations. These would be a great asset to any homeschool library. It is a great way to learn-"gentle" learning with "living books"!
