Pocketful of Pinecones is a teacher’s guide to nature study cleverly disguised as a heartwarming story written in the form of a mother’s diary.

Yet Pocketful of Pinecones is a story about Carol. Carol is on her feet a lot – industriously caring for her family. In her diary Carol pours out her secret worries, hopes, joys, and disappointments. She also writes of the naturewalks she enjoys with her children. Her goal is to safeguard their sense of wonder. Together they observe God’s marvelous creation and the children record their finds in their Nature Notebooks. Carol reads Home Education by Miss Charlotte Mason and attempts to put the advice into practice. Designed to be a “pick-me-up,” each chapter is short enough to minister to a mother who has only snatches of time in which to nourish her soul.

If you want to learn the most simple way of using Charlotte Mason, this is the place to start!

Personal review by Sue Pruett:

This was the first ‘how to’ book I read on educating my children the “Charlotte Mason way.” I knew a bit about the method, but this put the application in plain language that was so easy for me to follow. I had many “Aha!” moments as I read the book and implemented the method as Karen shared it. It was amazing to see my own children’s lives bear fruit because of using Miss Mason’s method! After nine years of using this method, I can say enthusiastically – “It works!” Not only that, but Karen shows you how to live the life of a well balanced home educating family. I gleaned so much insight into how to create an atmosphere of gentle learning in our home. We have all reaped many benefits because of this book. I now have two copies – one to loan out, and one to keep for my own! If you are considering trying out Miss Mason’s methods, this is a great place to start!
