BFB stands the test of time

Everything is beautiful & made high quality! I purchased teacher guides for EAH K-3, US Geography K-3, Character, Music Appreciation and Seasons Afield K-3 along with corresponding notebooks, watercolor cards and maps. I think the only critique would be that the notebooks for history and science could be made with thicker paper and possibly be lay-flat, spiral bound to make note-booking and adding pictures easier. Because you will want to keep these! We are incredibly excited to use this for my daughter’s 1st grade year. I still have my binder from when my own mom did BFB EAH with me 25+ years ago. I am testament that the hands on learning and beautiful literature stay with you always. My oldest son is named Leif after ‘Leif the Lucky’. I loved the D’Aulaire illustrations as a child and when I grew up and married a real life, red-headed ‘Eric the Red’ it only seemed right to have my own Leif. BFB stands the test of time.

Beautiful Map

This map is so lovely. As with the other maps we've purchased from BFB, this one is beautiful and well made. It's a great map to have alongside our geography studies. I do wish there was a smaller version of this map. I realize ratios can be tricky with printing something this detailed, but with our other BFB maps, we can have them up on the wall throughout the year as we work on them. That's half the reason I purchased them- to have a visual for my students. We absolutely do not have the space for this one. It has to stay folded up when we aren't working on it. I do recommend this map, just wish there was another sizing option.

Epically large, perfect for younger kids
