We absolutely loved these books and learned so much! My grandsons especially enjoyed the maps and they’re still pinned to the wall above their desks 2 years later. We added in many ‘rabbit trail’ books, videos and hands on activities such as the Steamship Museum in Kansas City while reading Minn of the Mississippi. While on vacation that year my grandsons were playing in a lovely Colorado stream where they fashioned their own version of Paddle out of a log and sent him on his way down stream. It doesn’t get any better than that!

Awesome curriculum! A lot of adults would learn from this as well.

Great book selection, the guide helped us to engage with the books.

Paddle to the Sea and Tree in the Trail were cute and fun. These two books were also enjoyable to read. The other two books, Minn of the Mississippi and Seabird were not as enjoyable. The books were hard to read and we struggled to finish them. I won't be using this curriculum again in the future.

I have done 1 of the books so far with my son. The books are definitely geared more towards boys. I won't do the study with my girls as they wouldn't enjoy it nearly as much. If you do one book a year it gives them time to really absorb the information and take it all in. I started this with my son in 3rd grade and it was perfect age for him to begin the study.
