"Git along, little . . . turkeys"? Yep! In 1860, a fifteen-year-old boy attempts to herd one thousand turkeys from Missouri to Denver, Colorado, in hopes of selling them at a profit.

In this sure-fire funny-bone tickler, part tall-tale but mostly solid historical yarn, Simon Green proves he's a man and worthy of respect. What fun!

This year we dove into early American life with great books like Carry On, Mr. Bowditch, Toliver's Secret, and Johnny Tremain," writes Kim M of Maryville, TN. "Books like these allow the child to really understand history and historical events because they can connect with a character. With such vivid descriptions of the people and time period, they are able to form an emotional connection much like the experience of actually having been there. I believe this allows them to remember more historical details later on."

Here, Wesley (10) and Jay (8) enjoy lunch while Kim reads from HBL D American History, Part 1.

"One of the things we LOVE about Sonlight is that it's readily adaptable to special needs students like our son, Josiah (15). Thanks to our 13 years of Sonlight, we can offer him a wealth of elementary-level readers that are so interesting that they capture the attention of a teenaged reader. The Great Turkey Walk will be a favorite of his because Josiah raises – and loves – poultry!" Cary G of Lake Stevens, WA has used Sonlight with her nine children their whole lives. This year they are studying Sonlight 400, 200, G, D, C, and Pre-Kindergarten.

The Sonlight Core programs have made homeschooling multiple grades manageable and affordable. The Instructor's Guides are AMAZING! They have given me the tools and confidence to educate my children and time to enjoy my family. We are a military family, so multiple moves have meant multiple schools. Finding Sonlight has been a major blessing. Our children love having time together to learn. The enthusiasm they have for homeschooling and the bond we're growing as a family are beyond our dreams! Here, even Emmy the dog is captivated by a chapter from Om-kas-toe. In their first year of homeschooling, Maxwell (11), Lily (9) and Maggie (5) are studying Core D+E, Grade 3 Readers with Language Arts, and Grade K Readers with Language Arts.
