Creative Learning

My family loves books. We love to read them and we even love the smell of the old books, but there is a more recent phenomenon which we have begun to love almost as much and that is e-books. We received some free e-books from Guardian Angel Publishing to review for them. The titles I used and reviewed included:
The favorite illustration of all is pictured here - what people would look like without bones! "Yuck" I said "Coooool" said all three of my children!
“Hamster Holidays” is a rollicking grammar adventure with these cute critters! The boys liked this way of learning and reviewing their Grammar much better than a plain old worksheet. The illustrations are really beautiful.
“Rainbow Sheep” a wonderful story with an integrated craft for your students and lots of information on wool and felting and crafting with these items. We really learned a lot from these books! When you look at the illustrations in this book, particularly, you will just want to reach out and touch them they look so textured. The way the author brings the hands on learning into it at the back of the book really makes the reader interested in trying one of the craft ideas.
“Maybe We Are Flamingos” was a little young for my crew’s taste but I really loved it. I thought the illustrations were delightful. The storyline is sweet and the pictures are really of such good quality.
“Gifts from God” includes pretty and unusual photo art along with Bible verses. I haven’t used this one yet with the boys, but I looked it over and I am planning to have the boys copy the verses as copywork. I think they will enjoy looking at the colorful photos as they copy the Bible verses.
Guardian Angel publishes books for children from toddlers to Tweens (0-12 years old) but parents will enjoy these books too. The styles of the books and e-books range from fanciful to factual, but all the ones that we looked at as e-books and the ones we looked at on the website are fun. There is nothing nicer for a Home Educator than to come across an educational resource that helps you maintain a love of learning in your home.
Guardian Angel Publishes e-books ($5.00 PDF files), CD’s of their books (and print copies of these beautiful and well written stories as well. Some of the books come in a DVD format. (Rainbow Sheep) Take a look at the website where you can see what I am talking about and even look at some of their items free: Free E-books and information on the artists and writers can be found at this link: http://www.guardianangelpublishing.com/freebies.htm
