I have purchased most of these books for my own library already, but wanted to share my finds with you:

 

Lights For Minneapolis, American Adventure Series #27 Electric lights, telephones, and other new inventions are making life easier, and a lot more fun, for Judith Fisk and her cousin Abe Stevenson. But Abe's father criticizes his son's fascination with science, and Judith's father doesn't seem to notice her now that there's a new baby in the house. In their changing world, what can Abe and Judith do to make their fathers understand them? And when Judith disappears, will Abe be able to find her before it's too late?   Prelude To War, American Adventure Series #35 Edie and Carl Schmidt didn't think things could get worse at school. But that was before the German navy began blowing American ships out of the water. That was before the rumors started, whispers that said Germany was going to invade the United States through Mexico. That was before their good friend Truman Vaught left to drive an ambulance on the battlefront in France. Now their best friends think Carl and Edie may be traitors just because their father is German. What can Carl and Edie do to prove their loyalty?   This Gulliver book has wonderful illustrations.  The price is listed at $.79 currently but it's a "limited time" price, so that may not last long at all.  I hope you can get in on the deal before time is up.  In my opinion, it really is worth the money to own this large hardback book just because of the quality of the illustrations.   But then again, I seldom find a book that I can't love. Gulliver in Lilliput: Retold from Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift Follow the fantastical adventures of an Englishman who sailed to strange lands no one had ever seen---and met people who stood only a few inches tall! Adapted from Jonathan Swift's classic, this lavishly illustrated retelling is a perfect introduction for children aged 6 to 12. 30 pages, softcover from Holiday House.   I have not purchased this book yet so I can't offer a review.  But it sure looks fun! Eddie's Finger Quiz: Concentration In this book, kids need to study each visual question, then try to deduce the correct answer. For instance, in which picture of a nighttime sky can they find a hidden object that doesn't belong among the moon and stars? Boys and girls four and older will love playing Eddie's Finger Quiz and test their knowledge. It's fun and easy to play. They'll find a question at the top of each page, with three possible answers at the bottom. Using their index finger, kids select the answer they think is the correct one by putting their finger through one of the three holes below the answers. Then they turn the page. If their finger is in the same hole that Eddie Duck is pointing to, they've picked the right answer!   If you want to browse all of the best discounted homeschool books at CBD, select this link: Homeschool Materials-Best Discount
