We filled the odd weeks out with BFB from other studies. The first 1-11 weeks of Adventures had a BFB from the EAH guide directly corresponding with it, then there were many long breaks with only weeks 13, 20, 27, 28 and 30 fitting in with the EAH guide. I laid everything out and came up with a little plan to weave these books in with our MFW study. I had already collected several BFB books from other studies and we had received a few other BFB books from other homeschool families. I managed to glean the rest of the books from the list via online thrift sales. I ended up purchasing the EAH guide and the Geography Guide for $3 each when Mardel had their clearance sale last summer. Short, meaningful lessons with great heart and ripe with curiosity seed. We do a lot of journal style notebooking in our home and I loved what I found in BFB’s Early American History Guide (EAH). I knew they would be game for more and that it would not overwhelm them to add in a bit more. My boys love reading and they are obsessed with American history. While planning Adventures, I kept returning to Beautiful Feet Books (BFB). You do not need to spend another dime to “beef” anything up!** **Before I go any further let me state from the get go that the history portion of My Fathers World is complete as is. You can read more about this delightful company here. Several of the books listed there are part of various curriculums created by Beautiful Feet Books. If you are planning out your Adventures year, you will find a list of recommended read alouds in the back of your MFW Adventures manual. Beautiful words, engaging illustrations, they are precisely what comes to mind when I think of Charlotte’s urging to read “ many worthy books.” I love reading, its my absolute favorite thing ever, and every book in that stand beckoned to my book crazed heart. Everything about their books and curriculum called out to me. I spent forty minutes in the Beautiful Feet Books booth at our convention last year.
