Today through December 14th, get 25% off any one book on Amazon with the code BOOKDEAL25 It is good for print books only, sold and shipped by Amazon, and has a limit of $10 off.

I am excited about this because my kiddos have several books on their Christmas list. Here is a peek at some of them:

The Blood of Olympus is the newest book in the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

Minecraft Redstone Handbook is from the Minecraft Handbook Collection.

642 Things to Write About Journal is filled with clever & funny writing prompts.

642 Things to Draw Journal is filled with fun drawing prompts.

Wreck This Journal takes creative writing to another level with activities that make a book protector (like me) cringe, but make my teen daughters giggle with delight. It has several cover options.

In My Humble Opinion Mini Journal is a tongue-in-cheek place to unload your true feelings. The cover reads “A journal to vent about why people are like that and why all the stupid things they do are so obvious to me…”.

A Million Little Ways: Uncover the Art You Were Made to Live is one I would recommend for the women on your list. I had to return my copy to the library before I had time to finish, but I was taking notes by page 5.

Do you have any great book recommendations on your Christmas list?

Poppins Book Nook #10: Greek Mythology

January 28, 2014 By: amyswandering2 Comments

It is time once again for Poppins Book Nook and this month’s theme is Greek Mythology!
Feel free to join in the fun with the linky at the end.

We were not able to get a project done this month because we’ve been battling bronchitis. Instead of an activity, I thought I would share some fun FREE resources to use when studying Greek mythology.

Would you believe our favorite book on the subject is a FREE kindle ebook? It is The Story of the Greeks by H. A. Guerber. She starts off the book writing about the Greek myths as if they are recorded history, weaving them into a seamless story that eventually winds it’s way into known history. (She does state in the beginning that she is creating a story from the myths, and I had a discussion with my kids about myths vs. history before we started reading. We also had a good talk about what the Bible has to say about false gods.) We just love her style of writing!

Greek Mythology: It’s Greek to Me is a fun set of lessons at Mensa for Kids.

Rick Riordan has a Guide to Greek Mythology and several Teacher’s Guides to his popular Percy Jackson series. My kids love those books!

Older kids can work on a Greek Mythology Research Assignment.

Greek Mythology Word Puzzles will familiarize kids with tricky names.

Add some Greek Myth Coloring Pages to your notebook.

Each month the Poppins Book Nook members will be hosting a book giveaway. This month it is for D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths, another favorite on our bookshelf.. The Rafflecoptor giveaway is open to US residents only and ends February 16th.

Follow Poppins Book Nook on Facebook & Pinterest!

Take a look at what the other Poppins Book Nook bloggers are up to this month:

Enchanted Homeschooling Mom – 3 Dinosaurs – Monsters Ed – Chestnut Grove Academy – Growing in God’s Grace – Life with Moore Babies – Teach Beside Me – The Usual Mayhem – Kathys Cluttered Mind – Adventures in Mommydom – Edventures with Kids – Learning & Growing the Piwi way – A Gluten Free Journey – Preschool Powol Packets – To The Moon and Back – Our Craft ~N~ Things – Fresh Farm Adventures – Are We There Yet? – Afterschool for Smarty Pants – Hopkins Homeschool
