A Child's Coloured Scripture Book/Google Books

The Child's Coloured Gift Book/Google Books

1867 didactic picture book about everyday life around town with large writing - I'm guessing K-2nd grade or ages 4-8. Click here.

The Child's Scripture Book with Questions and Answers/Google Books


Appears to be appropriate for third grade and up. Click here.

The Children's Book of Divinity or Grandmamma's Stories About Bible Doctrine/Google Books


No pandering to self esteem here. Grannie is tough, and she talks a lot about sin. I'm guessing this is Anglican as it was published in London. Read section two to determine if the doctrine fits your faith. Click here.

Everyday Number Stories/Google Books


Terrific illustrations for early math through about 5th grade. The word problems get progressively harder and include mixed fractions, something that my son is covering in his 5th grade Rod & Staff math curriculum. This book makes a wonderful extra practice book for him. I'll also be using it for my daughter when she gets older. Click here.

Yule-tide Stories: A Collection of Scandinavian and North German Popular Tales & Traditions

Interesting book. I've linked to The Wreath(Questenberg, Germany) which I enjoyed skimming. The reading level is probably later middle school and up. It's well written and catches you interest right away.

Download Help from a Download Manager

I have dial-up which may be the reason that I have trouble downloading book from Google, although I've not had this problem elsewhere. The other day, I stumbled upon a free download manager, and for the first time was able to download books off Google.

If you've had similar problems, you might want to try a download manager. It pauses and saves, which is especially good for dial-up so when you lose your connection you aren't having to begin again. It save the portion you have downloaded before you lost you connection, and resumes after you re-connect.
