Author: Voskamp, AnnPart of a Series: A Child's Geography

Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey…your family probably hears or reads about these names frequently. In an increasingly complex world, it is vitally important that children learn to see the world through their Creator’s eyes. As we explore the Holy Land you and your family will delight in incredible, mysterious landscapes, hidden wonders and beautiful peoples—all created in God’s image. We will travel through the lands of Scripture, discovering familiar Biblical landmarks, such as the possible resting place of Noah’s Ark, the remains of the Tower of Babel, the tracks of Moses up to the peak of Mount Sinai.

Elementary Geography

Author: Mason, Charlotte M.

Written by Charlotte Mason herself years ago, this is a geography book that will stir your child’s love of learning, gently explaining geographical terminology’s through Miss Mason’s unassuming, conversational style of teaching about the world God created in all its varied glory. Originally written for English children, our first inclination was to rewrite sections of the book to make it more geared towards American children, to whom this book would now be marketed. But our gut feeling was to leave it as it was originally written – from the point of view of the dear English educator who had won my heart with her methods so long ago.

We did decide to revise portions of the book to make the wording more “Americanized,” since a bit of the original wording would be challenging for an American child or parent to read fluidly; though we decided to keep the charming original illustrations. A new, bright cover wrapped the finished book, and our treasure was soon complete.

We hope you enjoy getting to know about God’s wonderful world through the eyes of Charlotte Mason herself; and we’re honored to be a part of bringing it to your hands.

Home Geography for Primary Grades

Author: Long, C. C.

Geography may be divided into the geography of the home and the geography of the world at large. A knowledge of the home must be obtained by direct observation; of the rest of the world, through the imagination assisted by information. Ideas acquired by direct observation form a basis for imagining those things which are distant and unknown.

Traveling Man: The Journey of Ibn Battuta 1325-1354

Author: Rumford, James

Ibn Battuta was the traveler of his age—the fourteenth century, a time before Columbus when many believed the world to be flat. Like Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta left behind an account of his own incredible journey from Morocco to China, from the steppes of Russia to the shores of Tanzania, some seventy-five thousand miles in all.
James Rumford has retold Ibn Battuta’s story in words a
nd pictures, adding the element of ancient Arab maps—maps as colorful and as evocative as a Persian miniature, as intricate and mysterious as a tiled Moroccan wall.
Into this arabesque of pictures and maps, James Rumford has woven the story not just of a traveler in a world long gone but of a man on his journey through life.

Adventures of Marco Polo

Author: Freedman, Russell

Was Marco Polo the world’s greatest explorer — or the world’s greatest liar? Newbery Medalist Russell Freedman turns his eagle eye on the enigmatic Marco Polo in his most exciting biography yet.
He claimed to have seen rocks burn, bandits command sandstorms, lions tamed with a look, and sorcerers charm sharks while divers gathered pearls on the ocean floor. Marco Polo shook Europe with descriptions of the world he’d seen on his epic journey to the court of Kublai Khan.
But was Marco Polo the world’s most accomplished explorer? Had he really seen the “Roof of the World” in Central Asia, and the “City of Heaven” in far-off China? Or was he a charlatan who saw nothing more than the conjurings of his inventive mind? Join Russell Freedman as he tackles a centuries-old mystery.

Travels of Benjamin of Tudela

Author: Shulevitz Uri

Through Three Continents in the Twelfth Century

Imagine a time when streets were narrow and dirty, towns were surrounded by walls, brigands lurked alongside roads that were treacherous and few, bridges over rivers were rare, and a man setting out on a journey never knew if he would return alive. It was the year 1159 when the medieval Jewish traveler Benjamin left his native town of Tudela in northern Spain on an adventure to see the places he had read about in the Bible. He traveled for fourteen years – from Rome to Constantinople to Jerusalem to Baghdad, among others – by ship, by cart, and on foot, enduring great hardships in his quest for knowledge of other places and people.

Working from Benjamin’s original chronicle, written in Hebrew, as well as other sources on the period, Uri Shulevitz captures the true spirit of this amazing adventurer, using a text written in the first person and superlative illustrations.
The Travels of Benjamin of Tudela is a 2006 Bank Street – Best Children’s Book of the Year.
