In Florida's Treasure Cost ~ Here We Come! Alex and Lexi fly to Florida to visit their grandparents. While they are there they discover many of God's treasures while exploring His beautiful creation. They learn about the Atlantic Ocean and many of the things you find there including: palm trees, shells, manatees, whales, sharks, insects, Indians, pirate treasure, starfish, and more. The next day they go on a geocaching adventure to Jonathan Dickinson State Park and learn about turtles, panthers, scrub jays, and more. They also take a boat Tour to Trapper Nelson's and learn about things such as osprey, and alligators. Back at their grandparents home they encounter a fox, land crabs, lizards, and see a mama sea turtle lay her eggs.
I read Florida's Treasure Cost ~ Here We Come! aloud to my 5,7,9, and 11 year olds. I chose this book because my parents moved to Florida a couple of years ago and we have visited there a few times. I knew the children would be interested in reading more about Florida's wildlife. As I read this book aloud, the children filled out some notebooking pages about some of the creatures described in this book.
This book is packed full of fun and interesting information. We learned many new things from reading through it. My boys especially were interested in the information on pirates and they want to have a geocaching adventure of our own ( I am hoping to do that this week-end.) We had never heard of Jonathan Dickinson or the state park or the story of Trapper Nelson. We loved all of the facts about the topics that were covered and the photographs were beautiful.
We try to include God in everything that we do and all the subjects that we teach on our homeschool and it is wonderful to find books that put the emphasis on God and His creation. I love that each of these books in the series focus on a specific place. We did a study of the 50 states last year and these books would have been a wonderful addition.
