THE CHILDRENS BOOKLIST

MY CHILDREN'S BOOKLIST

Is at this address:
http://janettecassey.proboards100.com/index.cgi?board=books&action=display&thread=1143455660

This list is simply a booklist that I have collected and used to write my Pictures. The books listed here with an asterisk* are novels/stories/narratives of Australian history and those with ** are picture/story books for younger children. The out of print ones can often be found at second hand book stores or bookfairs.

The in print books are often available through good book stores/homeschool suppliers, scholastic My Story series is also available through homeschooling resellers like Mary Collis at http://www.homeschoolfavourites.com.au. The rest of the books are more factually worded. As you can tell from the reference to volume numbers, some of these books are part of series that are found in the Australian History section at the library.

The list also gives you a start at looking for great series of books such as the Southern Cross series by Cassell Australia Ltd and The Australian’s in History Series by Collins but it is by no means an exhaustive list.

AND DON'T FORGET GUTENBERG AUSTRALIA
http://gutenberg.net.au/ for all sorts of goodies like explorer's journals etc etc.

INFORMATION/DISCUSSION FORUM

I am opening an information/discussion board on AUSTRALIAN HISTORY soon. Please email me at my link here and I will let you know how to join. I would LOVE to have the email addresses of all those lovely interested people I met at the Big Picture Conference so PLEASE email me and that way we can keep in touch!

Why set up a Forum? Well, after thinking about accessability, I decided that setting up a forum would be an easier and more organised place for you to access and read the additional information I've promised. As well, you can add your input and we can discuss things together with other homeschoolers if you wish.

Already I've heard some great ideas and I do hope those people will take the time to add them when the forum is ready. It will be a place for Australian history book discussion, poetry, age discussion, method discussion, art and craft and specifics like places to go etc and a place to be 'enthused'. Each topic will start off with the information I have promised and after that anyone can add 'new threads' i.e. topics or reply to other 'threads etc.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED by emailing me .... let's get all those great ideas out there! :)
