The World of Animals (My Father's World)

This book is filled with wonderful photos, a large variety of them per specie group. I only found one issue with the book, two of the photos have dark edges and some of the text runs into this edge, causing it to be a little harder to read. This book would be a wonderful addition (as an encyclopedia) to an already existing animal science curriculum or to use as an additional resource for a research paper. The information is easy enough for a 3rd grader to understand but in depth enough for an 8th grader to use as an additional resource. I know that this book will be helpful in our homeschool for years to come. I look forward to sharing the many wonders of God's world that are pictured in this book.

You can find a copy of this book on Christian Book Distrubitors (http://www.christianbook.com/world-of-animals-martin-walters/9780890516171/pd/516171?product_redirect=1&Ntt=516171&item_code=&Ntk=keywords&event=ESRCP#curr). I feel that the price being asked for this hardcover book on this site, is reasonable for the amount of information you are getting with in it's pages (247 pages to be exact). It covers everything from Simple Animals (examples: Protists, Sponges, and Coral Reefs), to Insects & Other Arthropods (examples: Beetles and Weevils, Dragonflies and Damselflies, and Spiders), to Mammals (examples: Insect Eaters, Large Rodents, Dogs, Foxes and Hyenas, and Gibbons).

Unveiling the Kings of Israel by David Down

This book was very intriguing. I found it hard to put down, and I am not a person who enjoys reading history books. I generally find the information on history dry, boring and contradicting my Biblical beliefs. However, the information in this book is so helpful in helping to connect the missing dots so to speak to the Biblical time line. How with the correct time line, every event in the Bible lines up perfectly. I must admit I learned things I didn't even know, and things I had never thought of before. I feel like I know each of the kings in the Bible on a more real level, before they were just ancient people of the Bible. It looks at history from a Biblical point of view. This would be a great book to add a study of the kings of the Bible. This book is not your typical boring history style book. I look forward to having my son use this book in the future to learn more about the kings of the Bible and how to back up the Biblical time line. However I feel that this book is mainly for High School and College Students, Adults. This book should also not be used as a stand alone book, but as book for more information or a way to intrigue students to delve deeper into the facts present in this book.

You are able to find this 168 page book through Christian Book Distributors (http://www.christianbook.com/unveiling-israel-revealing-bibles-archaeological-history/david-down/9780890516096/pd/516096?product_redirect=1&Ntt=516096&item_code=&Ntk=keywords&event=ESRCP#curr). This book starts you out with Mankinds Ancestors and walks you through Biblical history to the King of Kings. There are also 4 sets of Appendixes and 3 pages of Endnotes (which give you even more references (which were used for this book)).
