A great selection - you're really doing well by your kids with homeschooling.

Funny story: my mother was great about reading to us when we were little, but she really didn't know a damn thing about books. When I was vie, she came across a copy of Animal Farm and started reading it to me in bed. At first I was entranced by the antics of the pigs and the chickens, but after the fourth night I told her it was kind of "sad" and "boring". We went back to Richard Scarry after that.
