Try not to break your budget! I absolutely LOVE everything we have ever gotten from them. They always have a theme. This year’s is “Fight Hard & Hold Fast” — wonderful toys, games, books and more. Conservative, educational, homeschool friendly.

This place has it all...a little higher than some, but worth every penny. I would order everything in the catelog if I could.

Took the words out of my mouth! Please ping me when you get an answer!
Daughters-in-law have requested books for Christmas rather than toys...too many indulgent relatives!

Chinaberry Books is where you want to go.

I cannot recommend them strongly enough. If it's in there, it's good.

The McGuffey Readers (reprints from the 19th cen.) are superb! My sister used them in home schooling. Some are more text-bookish but the stories are full of good values. No wonder children back then were smarter!

A friend told me about a book that I plan to buy for my 6 y.o. granddaughter, called “The Princess and the Kiss”. It’s about saving yourself for marriage, basically. There’s one for boys but I can’t remember the name of it - same author, though.

See #4.

Also: all Nancy Drew books (up to the 1970s), same for Hardy Boys books, the Narnia series, Tolkien for older kiddos...

I would recommend two games: Monopoly and Sorry. Both may help assure they never turn into Barack Obamas.
