There are some really neat ones, and they cover all historical/racial/socio-economic backgrounds.groovyteachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13841399136909555461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3238571620303161255.post-3393125979179299492008-06-26T00:35:00.000-05:002008-06-26T00:35:00.000-05:00Looks like you have been busy!

My amazon orders are pouring in this week and I'm getting very excited about school. I will say - your lists are humbling! Your 6yo's list is nearly the same as my almost 8 yo's..... :D We all move at our own pace I guess!<BR/><BR/>Your 4yo's is quite similar to my 4yo's...lots of great picture books, those are my favorite I think.Emily Boeschhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12215515093279868058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3238571620303161255.post-54818114489291263952008-06-25T03:35:00.000-05:002008-06-25T03:35:00.000-05:00Don't leave out Junie B Jones for all out laughs for everybody.Trooper Thornhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09914276373305636583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3238571620303161255.post-76963342751555633622008-06-24T11:21:00.000-05:002008-06-24T11:21:00.000-05:00What an amazing collection!

I love to open them...and smell them! I know, I'm a geek - but there's nothing like the smell of a new book! :)<BR/><BR/>Looks like the boys will be reading pros in no time.

You've got some really good ones there. I have been involved in a small homeschool coop for the past 7 years. My daughter just graduated 8th grade! This past year, there were 15 boys and 3 girls...lots of fun to say the least. Anyway, we've been developing and using literature guides and thought you might be interested in taking a look. Many of our book selections have specifically been made with boys in mind. Please forgive me if this seems salesy at all...just wanted to share what we're up to. Have a blessed summer!<BR/><BR/>-tracey<BR/><BR/>www.blackbirdandco.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3238571620303161255.post-65249614035268682382008-06-23T09:54:00.000-05:002008-06-23T09:54:00.000-05:00Great Selections ...lots of fun memories ahead!Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04538574691535138923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3238571620303161255.post-33603836517236680222008-06-23T00:09:00.000-05:002008-06-23T00:09:00.000-05:00Wow, girl! You do rock! <BR/> <BR/>This post makes me feel a bit behind, though, and I've just started to kick up my heels more in true summer fashion. <BR/><BR/>Of course, my oldest is just 5.5 so I'm still getting the feel of this whole homeschooling thang. Won't feel guilty, just inspired! ;-D<BR/><BR/>You have that inspiring affect on others, ya know!<BR/>cjcchrista jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08904856056253964078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3238571620303161255.post-86203478852150075862008-06-22T20:21:00.000-05:002008-06-22T20:21:00.000-05:00What great books!

I wish I could see the names of all the books you photographed. Is there, by chance, a list somewhere? Also, how did you decide on your books? Did you pull from other lists or use word-of-mouth? I have a list myself but it is not this organized. Thanks for sharing!<BR/>TiffanyTiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01845733514468370173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3238571620303161255.post-35139360353138820412008-06-21T15:45:00.000-05:002008-06-21T15:45:00.000-05:00What a great post! I will have to come back to it several times as a reference. I am glad your boys love E Nesbit. Nutmeg loves her stories. I like the short story The Cockatoucan. <BR/><BR/>MicheleMichelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13971373349800972797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3238571620303161255.post-32972607500898667812008-06-21T14:53:00.000-05:002008-06-21T14:53:00.000-05:00Darcy,<BR/><BR/>What a wonderful selection of books. May I ask why you purchase all of them verses borrowing from a library? We have such a wonderful library system that we use...I routinely max out my card (50 book limit). Perhaps I am just more spoiled than I know by how much is available from our library.<BR/>Curious :-)Jenniferhttp://www.jennifersnest.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3238571620303161255.post-23000526626720423522008-06-21T10:40:00.000-05:002008-06-21T10:40:00.000-05:00What a lot of wonderful books! We love-love-love dragons here, all your dragon book choices have been read & loved!<BR/><BR/>I need to make a few more curriculum purchases and I also need to buy a bunch of books. I just have a hard time spending money... All your pictures were motivational!<BR/><BR/>Leemy5wolfcubshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18296523746527569586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3238571620303161255.post-84691366661008197662008-06-21T09:07:00.000-05:002008-06-21T09:07:00.000-05:00Hi Darcy, <BR/><BR/>I am not sure what blog I was visiting but I found Graphically Designing. I really enjoy your designs so I am looking forward to you opening your queue up again. <BR/><BR/>I found your blog and wanted to let you know I have 3 boys as well. I love the list of books you have gathered for your boys. I am taking notes. <BR/><BR/>Have a nice weekend.

I will have to go check that out. "Sketcher" loved The Treasure Seekers this year. Have you seen the "You Wouldn't Want to be on the Mayflower" (It's a fun series) For the dragon lover, you gotta check out Dover's Dragon coloring book my boys loved coloring that during read alouds. You have found some great books!Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09775616455734715418noreply@blogger.com
