Today, we're going to talk about some resources for locating living books. It's not as difficult as it might seem to find them!

My favorite go-to place for book recommendations is Ambleside Online. Their book choices are excellent, and as I've mentioned, we use a good portion of their curriculum. Whenever I want a book for my nieces and nephews, I go there to see what wonderful choice I might find. My nieces and nephews love to read, and I have never sent them a duplicate book when using AO's list.

used many suggestions from her list of favorite historical fiction books from the Middle Ages.
There are some great books with book suggestions, too. Here are some of my favorites:

- Picture Perfect Childhood by Cay Gibson - a wonderful book full of lists of picture books for all occasions and situations.
- Honey for a Child's Heart by Gladys Hunt (Also check out Honey for a Teen's Heart and Honey for a Woman's Heart - I don't have these, but they are probably great)
- Books Children Love by Elizabeth Laraway Wilson
- Read-Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease
I hope you've enjoyed our incredibly brief sojourn into the world of living books this week! I find that I have a LOT more material to share, so I may plan some future posts. I'd love to hear if you have any resources to share, or favorite books!
This is a great series on Charlotte Mason / Living Books! I had never heard of the Children's Preservation Library... I think we need a field trip to Traverse City!
