B is for books all about history!
Every year, the kids read a variety of books for history. I love combining non-fiction and fiction books to our history lessons. Michael and Therese learn about history and read some fantastic literature. It's a win-win for this mama and her kids.
So today I'm sharing a few of our favorite books we read this year. We started the year off with learning about various Native American Tribes and United States history after the Civil War. We began our studies of the 1900's and are currently working through the 1950's. Our goal is to finish up the 1960's to the 1980's in the next few weeks.
Sing Down the Moon
The Moffats
Rascal
Out of the Dust
Grapes of Wrath
Genevieve's War
Lilly's Crossing
War Horse
Dear America: When Christmas Comes Again (World War 1)
Twenty and Ten
The Winged Watchman
Number the Stars
The Book Thief
The Diary of Anne Frank
Farewell to Manzanar
Penny from Heaven
All these books were a wonderful addition to our lessons about American history.
What are some of your favorite historical themed books?

The Cat of Bubastes comes to mind because I just saw it on another #abcblogging page! Of all you listed, Rascal would be my favorite...I think my mom read it aloud to our family when I was little!
ReplyDeleteThe Cat of Bubastes is on our list for next year when we learn about Ancient Egypt.
DeleteWe've enjoyed several of these books, too! The Endless Steppe by Esther Hautzig is another historical book.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of The Endless Steppe. I'm off to see what it's about. Thanks for the recommendation!
DeleteThere are some fantastic books here. We have enjoyed Five Little Peppers and Little Women.
