This is not a read-for-pleasure book. This is a "I need to find a book/magazine/website/audio recording/video to help supplement my kid's education in any given subject" book. It's exactly what it claims to be in its title: a Home Learning Source Book.

I really only flipped through this book's pages after purchasing it, but I can already tell this will be one of those often-used books that I'll refer to often when trying to figure out what direction to go in next when look More...

I'm sure it's supposed to be helpful, but the sheer amount of info in this book is overwhelming. Perhaps more useful if you're looking for something really specific. Like the coding system used.

I read this book as I was just getting into homeschooling and it was wonderful. Mostly, it's a product review of different books, games, programs, magazines, etc, but it's the size of a major city PHONE BOOK. The parts I loved were the snippets from her homeschool journal that were liberally sprinkled throughout, because they showed how much learning takes place when you follow your kids' lead, take it easy and just spend time together.

Not so complete; thoroughly secular. If it were complete, I could have found info on several Christian based books/ programs I was curious about, too. So very good, but not exactly complete.

The size of a phone book! This book of homeschool resources is extremely helpful and exhaustive. I will definitely be going back to it for suggestions as time passes. I especially enjoyed reading the author's own experiences and ideas sprinkled throughout.

When she says COMPLETE, she means complete. It is a great book to follow and use as reference for your homeschooling experience.
