List 3: Pirate reads!

Ahoy...Ye Mate!

Here is a great list of Twaddle Free books that are sure to excite your students in their delight-directed learning! What better way to learn, than to first open up a book!

Here is how it works:

I will be posting at least once a week. I will try to be fairly consistent, and hope it will be on Sunday Night.
I will also be posting the same books on my instagram feed: charlottemasonlibrary I recommend that you follow my instagram feed as well.
I will announce on my Twitter Account cmlibraryblog Sunday night that I will be publishing a new list.
If you see something you would like to order, please email me at :Charlottemasonlibraryblog@gmail.com. First come, first serve policy.
When I receive your email stating what book you want, I will confirm that you can purchase it. Then I will email you back asking you for your address, and give you your total (with shipping).
Then you may place your paypal order. (see below) . When that is done, I will ship within 2 days.
Remember. I have thousands of books that I need to move! :)

Nearly all of my books will be $3.00 +Shipping and Handling. Some may be cheaper (paperbacks), others a bit more expensive (collectibles) . But the majority of my books are $3.00. I will be mailing books per media mail to keep your costs down. If you want them sooner, you must let me know.

At this time, I only accept PayPal (Fulqwvrmom@aol.com) for online payments. If you would like to pay by check, then I will hold your book until the check clears, then mail your book.

I will do my best to answer any questions you might have regarding the book themselves.

What is "delight directed education"? Well, this is not a complete exposition on this topic...but do you have a little fella or gal who is obsessed with life on the sea? Dresses like a pirate (even when it isn't Pirate and Princess night at Chick Fil A!)? Well....then you might want to capitalize on your child's interest and begin a "Life on the Seas" Library for them. This selection is dedicated to all of those children who have this fascination.

Free: to anyone who wants this and who places an order:

The reason this is free is because it has no back cover. Now I hope you don't think this too tacky of me to put up! But, I think, hey, it is a classic, and it is completely there. Someone might like to have it regardless.

Hard back, large edition, library bound , ex library. Good condition, Reading level 3rd-5th grade. Lots of fun activities to do! $3.00 + shipping

Hard back, library bound edition, very good condition, Reading level 4-6 grade.

Highlights: Henry Morgan, Blackbeard, Captain Kidd, Bonny and Read. Includes a glossary and further reading list. $3.00 + shipping

Hard back , Library bound, EXCELLENT condition, reading level: 2 - 4 grade. Gorgeous illustrations. I love Eyewitness books! $3.00 + shipping SOLD

Paper back, Very good condition, GORGEOUSLY illustrated with full color pictures, and photos. Lots of labeled diagrams... all about pirates in the 1600-1700"s ships, crews, clothing, flags,life at sea, and has some activities for your children. $2.00+shipping SOLD

An 18th century tale , when the seas were infested with pirates. Hardback, 250 pages, illustrate with pen and ink drawings, (see below), 5-6 grade reading level. $ 3.00 + shipping

BOOKS TO LOOK FOR:

This is a book that I MIGHT have an extra...but I believe it is out in the "warehouse" and I haven't gotten to books out there yet. But if YOU come across it, get it. Anything by this award winning author, Clyde Robert Bulla, is worth keeping on your shelves. Look at the gorgeous pen and ink drawings! Your library might carry this. Or be on the look out for this in antique stores, or thrift stores etc.

Helping families build their home libraries....one GREAT book at a time!

The Cornerstones of Freedom Books

"A series of 32 page books jam-packed with information on very specific events in American history. Geared for ages 9-11, grades 4-6, each book includes both color and black & white photographs, maps, a glossary, and a timeline of the events surrounding the event covered. Nicely layed out and interesting." "(From: Exodusbooks)

This is a really great set of books to have in your home. There are quite a few of these books in the series and good for even an adult, if you are wanting an overview of a certain event in American History. I have approximately 40 of these books and have used them in our history lessons, or as part of our summer reading . I have even paid my kids $.10-.25 upon reading each book. But after a few books...they don't need the $ prompts! I have one more child working through them, then off they go to being posted here. Several of the titles listed below I have never seen except when I purchased them. They are all hard backs., used and in good condition. If you keep your eye out, you might find them at thrift stores or antique stores...but they are becoming increasingly more difficult to find, especially the hardbacks. With revisionist history in full swing, particularly in American History, these titles will add to your U.S. history collection as YOU learned it. I have placed an asterisk next to the title to let you know that this particular title is scarce . Snatch them up when you find them and start your collection now!

At this time...all 46 of my Cornerstones of Freedom books are sold. I will be posting another list , hopefully by Wednesday night, 7/8/15 Thanks EVERYONE!
