Homeschool Co-ops: How to Start Them, Run Them, and Not Burn Out

by Carol Topp
Reading level: Adult
Reviewed by Kathy Davis

This book is a must have for any one wishing to start, maintain, or save a dying co-op. I would have loved to have had this book years ago when I joined my first co-op. Being brand new to home schooling, the other moms and I knew nothing on how to get a co-op off the ground. We forged a path through uncharted territory, figuring it out as we went.

Nature Friend (Magazine)

by Kevin Shank (Editor)
Reading level: Ages 6 - 12
Reviewed by Wayne S. Walker

Most children really enjoy glossy paged, colorful, well-illustrated nature magazines that provide information on animals, plants, and other wonders of our amazing earth.
