The world of books opens many doors: to the past and

help our children build our future.
And, let’s face it, they’re just downright fun to read!
Here at Leatherwood Books we have made a selection of
what we think are some of the best books available for
children today, by the best children’s authors
we know, both from Australia and around the world.
We want you as parents, home educators, teachers and
librarians, to get these books into the hands of
children everywhere!
Our hope is that our selection of books will delight
and inspire you and the children in your care, as you
learn and grow together.

	Charlotte’s Web Author: E B White Pages: 176 The blurb on the back of my very old edition reads: The tale of how a little girl named Fern, with the help of a friendly spider, saved her pig Wilbur from the usual fate of nice fat little pigs.

	First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind. Levels 1 & 2 Author: Jessie Wise Pages: 422 This is a complete grammar and writing text for grades one and two (that is, 7 and 8 year olds), written by Jessie Wise, who is the co-author of The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home. It uses the classical education techniques of copy work, narration, dictation, memory work and picture study to develop an understanding of grammar, and the technical aspects of writing. It is extremely thorough and easy to use, with scripted lessons (that is, you, the parent, are instructed on what to say throughout the entire lesson). Very good for building confidence in parents!
