Charming and conversational, this reprint from 1894 is sure to please Charlotte Mason fans. Author C.C. Lang first teaches the geography of the home: those things easily observable. He then teaches geography fundamentals such as directions, navigation, the compass, topography, the water cycle, flora/fauna, maps, Earth resources, and some lessons about people living and working around us. Employing an engaging conversational style, this book is perfect for reading aloud and discussions. Woven into the narrative (and marked with identifying images), are opportunities to discuss, write, draw, paint or complete another enrichment activity. There are several black and white illustrations. Poems include God Made Them All; The Fairy Artist; The Brook and more.6x9", 156 pp, sc. ~ Sara
