Made history come alive for me and my sons. What a voice!” D. J. – Fort Worth TX

Beginning with Queen Anne’s visit to Scrooby Inn, Stories of the Pilgrims tells, in story form, the everyday life of the Pilgrims in England and Holland, of their voyage on the Mayflower, and their adventures in the New World. The Brewster children and other Pilgrim boys and girls are the center of interest. This is a wonderful recording for a family to listen to together in the weeks before Thanksgiving.

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.

In these pages, Karen Andreola shares her story of applying the methods of Miss Mason in her own home. She shares, in easy to understand language, what the method is, and how to implement it in your own home. Along the way, you will see her struggles, triumphs, and humorous happenings as she educated her children the “Charlotte Mason way.” She shows you how the method looks, and shares the fruit of this method in her own children. You will learn how to recognize a “living book”, use narration, teach reading, spelling, and composition, appreciate great art, classical music, poetry, and much, much more. 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!
