This is an excellent childrens' book, but, like so many before it, one I would have thought little of after reading it to Jed. That is, were it not for Five in a Row. I can't tell you how exponentially this curriculum has increased our enjoyment of Jed's books. An in-depth study makes such a difference!
With this book, we studied the geography and culture of Cambrai and Calais France, the English Channel, the White Cliffs of Dover, the history of aviation, the art of inventing and perspective in art, among other things. It's no wonder to me that the FIAR books become treasures to the kids who have used them in their schooling.
