    Teaching British literature has been made a lot easier thanks to this book. We used the Gold Book American Literature last year so we were eager to try this book for British Literature. It was well worth the money. The lessons are easy to follow and self-guided. The content is thorough and engaging.

    I have loved using this curriculum series with my children in the lower grade levels. When I found it, my oldest son had some issues with learning to read and we started with the blue book and it made all the difference. He is now an avid reader, at age 15, as is his next younger brother, with whom I have also used the lower grade levels of this series. But once we got to high school, we found that there is so much poetry. I have very active boys who plan to pursue jobs in labor industries and have little patience for poetry. I never studied weeks on end of poetry in high school and don't understand why there is so much time dedicated to it. With so much wonderful literature and non fiction available, why are the kids expected to spend nearly a third of their year on one type of literature? It is the same for the American Literature book. I would highly recommend this series until the gold books, then I suggest looking for something else, unless you want a major emphasis on poetry.
