Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates

Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates by Mary Mapes Dodge

This is our current read aloud book (It was not what I was going to read but found that I had packed all of the other books! I was going to leave this book until the girls were a bit older, but they seem to be doing ok with it. Normally I would not do any extras with a read aloud book but this time we needed some more info so here is what I found.

Read the book on line here or download a copy here.
See here for an audio copy of the book.

Other schooling ideas
school for us has a post on their study of The Netherlands

Lapbook bits
Netherlands Flag here from homeschoolshare
There are lots of lapbook components in the story Boxes for Katie at homeschoolshare that would work well in a study of the Netherlands.
Also a whole study and lapbook on storks here again at homeschoolshare - got to love that site :)
