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.

We have enjoyed these four books of geography so much. The guide just gently holds our hand as we walk through each story. We love Paddle. He is a part of our family now. thank you.

I first saw this curriculum at a convention several years ago. I knew I wanted to do it, but I wanted to wait until the year my boys could do it together--this year was the year! One boy is in 3rd and the other in 7th and it's been the PERFECT curriculum. They each enjoy making their maps, love the stories, and enjoy the relaxed style of the unit studies. We've covered history, geography, biology, and more! I also purchased the coordinating IEW writing course which is a perfect match to this and enhances everything! I strongly recommend this program to any who want a GROUP curriculum and who like the laid back style of unit studies.

We just started this Study guide and it is so amazing! My 8 year old son is loving digging deep into all the suggestions in the guide, watching youtube videos of beavers, deers loosing their antlers, sawmills, etc. It is so much more than a geography curriculum. I had planned on only doing it once a week and we did it three times this week! The maps are fantastic!
