Homeschool Library Start Up For All Ages

Homeschoolers love stacks of books. Library books. New school books. Books for simply reading for pleasure. But sometimes purchasing and collecting the books for that curriculum list can be a bit overwhelming. I have a frugal answer for you. A homeschool library start up from Dover Publications.

Homeschool Library Start Up~Don’t miss the discount code plus the giveaways for each age group at the end!! We received this amazing Homeschool Library Start Up For All Ages from Dover Publications in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are our own and we are so excited about the books for all our ages! Please see our disclosure policy.

Did you know that Dover Publications has many, many classic titles? And they are frugal for the homeschool budget! We are filling out our homeschool library with Book House books, My Father’s Dragon, Call of the Wild and many others that match the reading outlined in our curriculum.

There are several titles I did not realize that Dover Publications had available. Like the Book House books I grew up on! So many classics available at thrift prices. I bet you can pick out some of your favorites below…

Raggedy Ann
The Real Mother Goose
My Father’s Dragon
My Book House – Story Time

Homeschool LibraryThis wonderful stack of books holds a special place in my mama heart. See, the My Book House books are ones that my grandmother would read to me. The wonderful stories of my childhood. I can still hear her voice when we were at her house in the afternoon at nap time. Or if we had a memory-making sleepover. Plus the wonderful Real Mother Goose and Raggedy Ann. Classics! My Father’s Dragon is on the suggested reading of many homeschool curriculum lists. Top it off with a Bible Fun Activity book and you have a wonderful collection fro the younger age group.

    There are too many good books to pick just one! I think Jungle Book or Treasure Island would be enjoyed most right now though.

    While I enjoyed Raggedy Ann as a child, I would have to point out that the first volume does contain racially offensive dialect and illustrations. Parents may want to preview.
