A fellow homeschooling mom in the area told me about a big book sale going on not far from my house.  Today was the last day and you got to fill a brown shopping bag full of books for five dollars!

Dh and I made our way to the sale and were we happy that we did!!!

There were tables upon tables of books of all kinds.  It was super crowded, but we did pretty well, I must say!  Dh got an entire bag full of science fiction and he was completely happy.  I only got a few books for myself, as I am pretty well stocked when it comes to reading for myself, but I got tons and tons of great books for the kids!

I got several classics for all three kids and some teaching books, reading books, and then my favorite finds ....  really great books on school subjects we are currently studying (or will be soon)! 

Here is a partial list of my great finds:

The Gettysburg Address  (as a picture book)

What's Hatching Out of that Egg?

The Young Scientist Investigates Flowers

The Skeleton Book -- An Inside Look at Animals

Silly Science Tricks

Things That Grow (this one looks AWESOME!  More on it later)

Animal Homes:  Seashore

Acorn: Oak Tree

Birds Activity Books 1,2, and 3 (Spring, Summer, and MIgratory)

Hermit Crabs

How to Raise Butterflies

Where's That Insect?

A Picture Book of Birds

Giants of Smaller Worlds:  Drawn in their natural sizes

and my favorite, favorite find:

Window on America:  Discovering Her Beauty

This book is SO gorgeous, the pictures are outstanding, and there is even a matching book plaque (my name is:) inside the cover w/o writing on it!  I am so geeked!

So, we got ALL the above books, the science fiction, the classics, the teaching books, a few how-to's and a few fiction...... for 15 bucks!!!  How awesome is that?

I'm happy that my dh shares my love of reading and learning.  He picked out a couple of books for the kids too, and he did well!  I found the education table on our way out.  Most of it was about pregnancy and babies, but I found a couple of books on teaching your kids to love reading, and a book of teaching and book quotes, don't sweat the small stuff w/ families, and those bird activity books.

Well, I just wanted to share.  Look for book sales in your area!
