The Happy Homeschool MomAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Great Children's Series!November 7, 2011The Happy Homeschool MomAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5We just had the opportunity to read and review the next book in the Imagination Station series #5 Showdown With the Shepherd. I read this book aloud to my crew (9,7,6,4,2,8 months) although my 9 year old could have read them on his own. I love that this series of books is Christian based, historical, and adventure all in one. The main characters are cousins, a boy, and a girl, making the stories appeal to both boys and girls. The illustrations are also very well done. What I love the most though, is that my children love them! When reading aloud, they beg for, "Just one more chapter please!" When book 5 ended my 9 year old jumped up and said, "That can't be it! We need to find out what happened next!" (luckily we had book 6 on the shelf!) Fun for me to read, children love them, and I don't have to worry about explaining any evolutionary content, The Imagination Station Series is a hit in my house!

Michelle5 Stars Out Of 5And the adventure continuesNovember 16, 2011MichelleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5With this series you get to travel through time on an adventure to the unknown to find objects or people all while having fun learning history and Biblical truths. I love the balance of the fun and the educational aspects of these books, it's a great combination. In book #5 we travel back to Biblical times and meet non-other than young David as he's heading to take food to his brothers in battle against Philistines and Goliath. This is one of my children's favorite Bible passages and I know they are going to enjoy this twist to the story. It's so enjoyable to imagine what it would be like to step back in time to experience firsthand these historical events and these books do a great job in imagining just what it might have been like. And then there's the very timely arrival of book #6 which takes readers back through time to the first Thanksgiving celebration at Plymouth. I think I might just skip out of order and read this with my two as part of our Thanksgiving reading this month. They are a little younger than this series age group so I've yet to read any of this series with them. These books of course are written as part of a series but a great feature is the prologue which can be found at the beginning of all books that sets the background storyline of the previous books in case you decide to read them out of order, making it so you can easily transition into the adventure for any of the books. It is simply an exceptional series for young readers and I am once again anxious to see where the adventure will take us too next. I recieved a copy of this book from Tyndale Publising for this review.

While looking for the ring, they encounter dangers involving Goliath and a bear. As they see the story of David and Goliath unfold, they learn about trusting God even when it seems like failure is sure. This is a great book for young readers and not only does it have adventure that will appeal to kids, but it also has great Christian truths and historical facts incorporated into the story.

This time Patrick and Beth get to meet the young shepherd boy, David. They get to live through the Biblical story involving their new friend, David and Goliath. They, also, had another meeting with troublemaker, Hugh. He just doesn't give up.
I liked this book. It was enjoyable to "meet" David.
