The Charlotte Mason method incourages the use of "living books" which feed enthusiasm for life and learning about nature and one's own place in it. Contrast this with the effect of a text book, which can suck the life right out of you!

Keeping up with Grandma
We picked up this book soon after returning home from summer vacation. We all had a wonderful time, but were glad to be back home! In this book, grandma and grandpa each have their hobbies and a cozy home. BUT, grandma has a "bucket list." She drags poor grandpa on all kinds of adventures until they finally go home and resume their contented puttering. The illustrations are captivating and the story timely. It may be useful to get out and see the world, but developing a personal hobby and nurturing home environment are priceless.
