Alternate Literature
The link below lists additional literature titles your family might enjoy. Some are picture books, and some are chapter books. There are many other great books out there, but these are a few we wanted to share. We do not have detailed notes about these titles (such as potentially offensive words and topics) as we do for the titles we suggest in Our 50 States. We do not necessarily approve of all of the content in all of these books, but we offer them as suggestions because we believe they might be titles your family will enjoy.
You can find suggested books and other supplemental resources using our Homeschool History database.
