Apparently there are good and bad forms of socialism. It's confusing. I think I need a chart or something. :) Just to be clear, my comment was not aimed at you, Dana. :)

I was accused of hypocrisy last time I posted something about libraries for using the socialist system I otherwise speak out against. Can't help but wonder why they're online, taking advantage of a resource created with government grant money. Some people go a little far in their zeal for whatever it is they’re after.

Oh, no. I just read "Obama public libraries." I guess it's time to take a vacation from current events -- though now I've been reminded that public libraries *are* products of socialism, so maybe they *do* belong to Obama. [eek-shudder] Dana: “I completely forgot Omaha public libraries…”

There's also a good workbook put out by Frank Schaffer Publications called "World Map Skills". It has black line maps of different places from history, including ancient Egypt, and instructions on how to complete the maps. It's available from Rainbow Resource is cheap and reproducible for your family. Besides just the maps it has mini lessons and activities. Dover has good coloring books on different nature themes you might want to check out for nature study. We love the “Atlas of Ancient Worlds” from DK.

And we bought two baby goats this last spring. My daughter is very interested in veterinary science so I have asked her to study up on chickens and goats for us. ( : A suggestion for good books on frogs, lizards and snakes (I have three boys!) - we really love most anything by Jim Arnosky. Have fun looking Dana!

She has some other books recommended by age categories about Ancient Egypt if you don't already have them.

He gets rather snarky about things like church and war so a parent ought to read first but it could be a good reference for geography with careful editing. I don't know what he says about Egypt.
