Top Ten Tuesday – Back to School

Happy Tuesday, booklovers! This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is Back to School. Here in Australia, we’re actually halfway through our school year, but I thought it would be fun to share some of the books my kids are reading as part of their schooling this year. My five kids range in age from six to almost thirteen, and we follow a classical-style curriculum pulled from a few different places, but we’re big fans of Memoria Press, particularly for literature. If you’re scratching your head over what I mean by classical-style curriculum, you might want to check out this post I did last year on books for classically educated kids.

Some of these are favourites from my own childhood, and some of these I’m discovering for the first time right along with my kids.

I’d love to know which ones you’ve read!

  1. I love kid’s books. Great list! I’ve read Heidi, Stone Soup, The Bronze Bow, Charlotte’s Web, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Beatrix Potter. Great stories. 🙂

  2. Awww! Who doesn’t love the Peter Rabbit characters!? They’re so cute! Also, I don’t know that I read “Charlotte’s Web,” but I watched the movie 100 (and 1!) times as a kid. Of course, ‘Narnia’ and the Laura Ingalls Wilder books are favorites too. 🙂

    My Swiss grandmother, who lived with us when I was growing up, used to tell us the story of Caps for Sale. I still love it and have the book. When I taught preschool, I had the kids act it out and tell the story with me. They loved it. I also loved Heidi.
