If that\u2019s been your experience, then we have a treat for you!\r\n\r\nLegends and Leagues is a journey around the world, including history where relevant, and just to keep you on your toes, there are fantasy creatures involved. (How else are you going to travel across Europe in a couple of hours?)\r\n\r\nThe first book and workbook are for young children, ages 5-7. This is just a fun story awakening a youngster\u2019s mind to charting a path, and how one could do that.\r\n\r\nThe next four courses are for ages 8-12. These can be done in any order since they don\u2019t build on each other, they just cover the countries as follows. Each course includes a review of Continents and Oceans:\r\n\r\nNorth: British Isles, Europe, Scandinavia, Former U.S.S.R.\r\nSouth: Africa, Middle East\r\nEast: Asia, Oceania, Australia, New Zealand\r\nWest: North America, South America\r\n\r\nEach course includes a read-aloud book, which could be a stand alone but the workbooks really enhance the stories and give a more practical look at the country being studied. It includes flags, questions about major landmarks, historical events that changed geography, recipes, crafts, and activities. There are a few questions that need answers, and those are divided into the easier and harder categories so this book can be used for a range of ages simultaneously. Yes, it would make a perfect Morning Basket curriculum. A few missionary read-alouds would be the perfect pairing for this curriculum that will tell your children about other nations. The Taste of Asia devotional would be the perfect way to pray about the countries that you are studying in the Legends and Leagues East.\r\n\r\nWhile I was reviewing this, I couldn\u2019t help thinking that this was the next step for the Around the World with Picture Books I and II packages. Those are the best introduction to the world around us for young children, ages 4-8. If you have completed those, this is certainly the next step in your geography curriculum.\r\n\r\nQuick facts:\r\n
