Next year maybe you’ll want to encourage your child to explore more books on history and science. If that’s the case, let me recommend some terrific texts, Exploratopia: More than 400 kid-friendly experiments and explorations for curious minds and the Blast to the Past series of history books.

Exploratopia comes from the San Francisco museum of science, art and human perception called The Exploratorium. This book would be a terrific for homeschoolers as it contains science activities, experiments, and facts, and encourages a hands-on approach to science. But you don’t need to be a homeschooler to enjoy the book and its cartoons, illustrations, and science knowledge. For ages nine to 12.

The Blast to the Past series features stories on Martin Luther King, Jr. Walt Disney, Ben Franklin, Sacagewa, and several other American historical figures. For ages seven to 10, they make history entertaining and fun. These are especially great for children who are new to biographies and chapter books and a great way to introduce them good role models.

The Blast to the Past series was awarded Learning Magazine’s Teachers’ Choice Award. To learn more about the books, check out the Blast to the Past website.
