Product Review: Case of the Missing Mountain by Kim Jones
Bottom Line first: I don't do this very often, but I want to make this point right up front. You do not have to be a homeschool student to enjoy and learn from this book! Your child will enjoy "playing" with this puzzle book all the way to Grandma's house, or when he is bored and wants something besides just another book to read.

I know you are probably thinking that five months is Continue Reading >>

In fact, I cannot remember a day in all of my history that I have read a non-fiction book without breaks for fiction, let alone in one day. I could not put Under the Overpass by Mike Yankoski down.
