The Olympics are just around the corner! How much do your kids --- or you! --- know about those that will be competing against the USA? Here is a simple way to find out more about these countries.

Send me a PM and respond to this post for a 3 for 1, 8 for 2, 14 for 3, or all 20 for 4 credits ! ! !

Welcome to My Country (series) is a full-color, 48-page hardbound set of books on various countries. Written on a 4th - 7th grade level with large type, this is an easy to digest way to discover the history and culture of a country.

I currently have the following countries available (I have several copies of each country):

Cambodia, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Greece, Israel, Myanmar, New Zealand, Portugal, Thailand

Festivals of the World (series) is very similar to the first series, published by the same company, but focuses on their festivals and holidays and their cultures. These books are 32 pages in length, written on a 3 - 5th grade level, and are also full color hardbound books that are new and unused. I currently have several copies of these countries:

Canada, Czech Republic, Haiti, Indonesia,  Israel, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Turkey, Trinidad.

Send me a PM and respond to this post for a 3 for 1, 8 for 2, 14 for 3, or all 20 for 4 credits ! ! ! All you need to do is to order 1 ( or 2 or 3 or 4), and then tell me which freebies you would like.

These new books are selling on amazon.com for $24 - 26 each. These have NO markings, they are BRAND NEW, and you will enjoy learning from them. These are library bound books that will not wear out. Your public library has these VERY BOOKS on their shelves! Honest!

So get ready for the Olympics !  Send me a PM today !
