Great books, great kids...

Because I get lots of homeschooling curriculum questions, I thought it best to have my resource list posted so that others might benefit from our research. I've tried to pick the best of the best and there's not a book here that I don't highly recommend. My kids will second these recommendations! :) So, here's what we're using this year. I plan to post a more detailed synopsis of how we use these books in our curriculum soon.
