OUR FAVORITE LINKS
We've worked hard to put together a list of links that's a little
different from the link lists on other homeschool pages. Get more information on books and
authors, inspiration from other homeschoolers, and just have fun.
Books, Authors, and Reading / Just for Fun / Web 2.0 /
For Parents
Resources and Inspiration for Homeschoolers and Other
Teachers
Independent Used Book Dealers, mostly with
home school ties.
Teaching
and Teachers: Blogs, Articles, Etc
The Apple Orchard: A Place for Adults Who love Children's Books. This page
reviews old children's books and series and offers up-to-date news on which
old classics are coming back into print. They also have a list of old classics
that are currently in print. If you find one you want, I can handle it as a
special order if I don't already carry it. I do carry many of them, which may
or may not be listed on my page yet. It never hurts to ask.
Arthur Ransome Page: Contains anything and everything for Ransome fans:
his biography, a slide show of people and places important in his books, a
discussion forum, and a complete bibliography of his books, himself, and
anything related.
Mark Twain Quotes:
Has a lot of information besides quotations that might be of interest to Mark Twain fans.
There is biographical information and some interviews with Mark Twain are also preserved
there. There are also a number of related articles. Before you visit, keep in mind that we
have a lot of new and used Mark Twain books here at reasonable prices.

What They Read: There's too much here to summarize, but if you're interested in the

Postcards
from Amazing Bookstores: Take a visual tour of some of the world's
most amazing bookstores.
The Home School
Curriculum Swap: We've visited a lot of home school pages, and they all offer useful
information. But this page gives parent teachers a chance to compare notes with others on
anything from curriculum to the prices of book rate postage. One of the most valuable
features of this page is its classified ad section where you may advertise used books and
curriculum or place a wanted ad, all for no charge. You handle your own ads, and deal
directly by e-mail with those who answer them. I have sold used books within 15 minutes
after placing some ads. And teachers, you may be able to find used books you need here,
too.:
Jacqui Bennett Writers
Bureau
Jacqui offers help to those who want to be published authors but want their work critiqued
or need to know how and where to submit their work for publication. Her prices are
affordable.

Chronicle Interactive Comics: Ever dreamed about having a comics page with only the
ones you want to read? Well, now you can have it. Just go to this page and build it with
all your favorites -- including the ones your paper may have already dropped. If you'd
like to read more than the comics, you can get the other Houston Chronicle features such
as weather, sports, columnists, news stories, etc. at the Houston
Chronicle Interactive Home Page
SLO-North: This is my own personal page about the region where I live in
San Luis Obispo County, California. I am especially interested in sharing my
gardening experiences here and showing pictures of the various weeds that are
common in this region with original pictures of them at different stages of
their life cycles and also what I do with those that are edible.
