Twaddle-free history! “How to get your children to actually enjoy history!” Rob and Cyndy Shearer have written the Greenleaf Guides to help us teach history with ‘living’ books, not textbooks. “The study of history becomes not merely the study of nations, but a moral training ground where the wise and the unwise are observed, and the consequences of wisdom and folly may be dissected under a teacher who charges less than experience.” The Shearers view North American History as “Current Events” compared with the wealth of other history we have to learn from. The Famous Men Series are biographies of men of the past. Greenleaf suggests beginning
"A matchless handbook for decades, this classic has been the natural history reference for countless teachers and others who seek information about their natural environment. Written originally for those elementary school teachers who knew little of common plants and animals, and even less about earth beneath their feet and the skies overhead, this book is for the most part as valid and helpful today as it was when first written in 1911. After all, dandelions, toads, robins, and constellations have changed little since then!

The Classical Reference by the Founder of the Home Schooling Movement Yes! This is the set that Susan Schaeffer Macaulay writes about in “For the Children’s Sake”.

The 6 volumes in this series are not to be read quickly but rather savored, as you would a conversation with a dear friend or a valued mentor.
