     Here's how they describe it:  "The Handy Book is filled the stuff of dreams for generations of red-blooded kids who have been fascinated by the projects it presents, and eager to try them for themselves. Warning: Some of these old-time projects are not for the faint hearted, and could potentially be hazardous… but we’ll leave it to you to moderate your kids’ enthusiasm over what is in this book."

Free Vintage Children's Ebook - Peter & Polly in Autumn

     This free book has 173 pages of wonderful, old-fashioned children's adventures in the country, plus gorgeous pen and ink and colorized illustrations. I think I'll make a recording of the fishing episode for my sons, (as soon as I can figure out how.)
     Homeschoolers, classroom kids and students, and fans of vintage old-fashioned country life will love this book. Since it is written by a Vermont schoolteacher, and I was born in Vermont, it's another reason for me to be partial to it.
     Here's how Jim Erskine describes it:
      "PETER AND POLLY IN AUTUMN by Rose Lucia (PDF ebook)...is a lovely little storybook from 1919 following the adventures of Peter and Polly, their family and their pets on their farm from the first warm, golden days of the season to the first snowflakes of Fall. Beautiful golden tinted illustrations throughout in this delightful, old-fashioned school story book."

     I'm looking forward to sharing this freebie with my youngest son, who is the archer in the family. He hurt his knee yesterday so may have to sit a spell, so perhaps I'll read it aloud and send him my audio/video and this file to read along to. I'll bet you will enjoy "THE STORY OF WILLIAM TELL (PDF ebook) also!

     Here's how Jim Erskine describes his offering:
"Today’s resource is this classic retelling of the amazing true story (or is it a legend?) of the national hero of Switzerland – mountaineer, shepherd and bowman, William Tell. Read the story of how Tell was forced by the cruel governor Gessler, to shoot an apple off his son’s head, and how Tell became instrumental in leading the Swiss people to freedom. Excellent, concisely written historical narrative, just right for read aloud or study assignments."

Free FROM THE TOWER WINDOW of MY BOOK HOUSE (PDF ebook)

Books (Photo credit: henry…)

We've gotta love books that are a treasury of a variety of stories and poems, right? At least I always have. I remember as a little girl I would travel on the bus alone to the big library across town from where I lived at the time in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. We were allowed to take out 14 books at once, and I would always choose the biggest books of children's anthologies whenever possible. I'd wind up with a huge, heavy pile of books to bring home, lol. No wonder I was stronger than I looked.

     Well here's a great free anthology book called "FROM THE TOWER WINDOW of MY BOOK HOUSE (PDF ebook)"
     It goes with the other one I mentioned the other day.

"Lev Tolstoy in Yasnaya Polyana", 1908, the first color photo portrait in Russia Français : « Léon Tolstoï à Iasnaïa Poliana », 1908, le premier portrait photographique en couleur en Russie. Suomi: "Leo Tolstoi Jasnaja Poljanassa", 1908. Ensimmäinen Venäjällä otettu värimuotokuva. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

     I can't wait to read it for myself,. and share it with my kids for homeschooling and otherwise. (I hope to read some of the stories outloud onto tape or something for my youngest to give to him.)
     Among the entries are a story by Tolstoy, Robin Hood tales, and many other classics and gems. There are some amazing color and ink illustrations as well!
     Here's how Jim Erskine describes it: "This week we have another book in this wonderful library of historical tales, short stories, legends, and poetry from many lands and times. This is another great volume in the much beloved MY BOOK HOUSE series from the early 1900s, chock full of excellent stuff for read aloud and (educational) pleasure reading. Again, it is highly recommended!

"VINTAGE LESSON PLANS ON DOMESTIC ANIMALS (PDF ebook)

My youngest son especially loves his farm animals. We love animals of all kinds. Plus I love old vintage books, and new books, and ebooks, well, you get the idea. Lol. Not to mention fun stuff to use with lessons. This resource would be great to find stuff for your unit on farming or domestic animals or -- well, a few different options.

Here's how Jime describes it: "Some subjects of study are timeless, and a vintage book about them is just as pertinent and helpful today as it was 100 years ago. Such is the book we feature today, a really sweet collection of read aloud lessons for younger students about a variety of domestic animals: cat, dog, cow, sheep, goat, horse, donkey, pig, hen and duck. Lots of great illustrations and activity ideas in each chapter too!
