  1. Linsey

    My son (9) and daughter (12) really enjoyed this. My daughter read KonTiki and although it was a bit of a heavier read she made it and enjoyed it. We watched the movie together after as a treat. We love the picture books included as well, and my daughter enjoys them as much as my son. We especially enjoy the Material World and Hungry Planet books that give us a real view of people in these countries. This is our 3rd time using Visits To and we are really thankful for this curriculum.
