Review of Biblioburro

Luis lives in Columbia with his wife Diana. He loves to read and buys lots and lots of books.

He has so many books, he has to get rid of some which gives him a great idea. 

He will create a mobile library, transported from town to town on the back of a donkey. Luis and his traveling library go from village to village, reading books to children and letting them take books home to read. 

Books, biblio in Spanish, and donkey, burro in Spanish led to the book's title, Biblioburro by Jeanette Winter. 

Beyond the charming story, this picture book is filled with charming illustrations that children love! The pictures are bright and cheery! 

The story of one man's outreach to his fellow Colombians is delightful. Your little lambs will want to hear it again and again.

Reading  Biblioburro is a great way to travel to Columbia without leaving your living room. The illustrations introduce us to the animals, birds, and plants of Columbia in the delightful pages of the children's picture book. 

Picture books are a great way to make geography come alive for younger and older students. Everyone loves a well-written beautifully illustrated picture book. 

When we study geography, my children read lots of living books set in places all around the world. In addition, we read literature and picture books aloud. Often we will find the setting on a map or globe before we start. 

At Powerline Productions, we have lots of resources for your geography studies. 

We love the Lord, traveling, and learning all about places all around the world! So, all our geography resources are Christ-centered, travel-focused, fill of knowledge, creative, and fun! 

Travel God's World Geography, our middle school (5th -8th) geography curriculum, combines conversation text with unit study fun, mapping, crafts, living books, and research projects. Children will have a blast making their passport and traveling around the world continent to continent while they  explore landforms, cultures, missionaries, natural resources, businesses, transportation, and more!  

Travel God's World Cookbook takes families from continent to continent, too, but this time everyone gets to explore different countries and their famous sights, flags, and delicious recipes. You will love learning geography in your kitchen. 

You can join our family on a trip to London, England where we explore the sights, learn history, craft, listen to music, enjoy art, read aloud, bake, and cook our way to learning fun! Travel to London Unit Study is a blast for all ages! 

Travel the World Country Report Lapbook is a research project for older kids that culminates in creating a keepsake lapbook they can share with loved ones! Choose a country, read, research, and put together a lapbook. Everyone can work on a different country or the family can work together. 
​
​Until Next Time, Happy Homeschooling!

Love, 
Meredith Curtis
