I am currently gathering lists and links of Picture Books relating to a historical point in time. We've begun this year by teaching history through picture books and I would like to continue on that path where possible. In fact I like to 'teach' as much as I can from books so I will continue to edit this post as I find lists.
This list of links is really just for me but I am sure someone will benefit from them. If you are aware of other History Picture Book Lists or just great lists of picture books relating to a particular topic, please let me know.

Thanks! I bookmarked these, I love reading picture books to the kiddos in the afternoons, having a direction of the book is great! Oregon read Apples to Apples for our Oregon History, library wide last year, it was fun having everyone reading the same book. I look forward to browsing the lists. :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm a public teacher, most of my relatives homeschooled, and I know they had great success with picture books.
ReplyDeletePlease check out my blog, Teach with Picture Books, for lots of terrific titles and related links and actvities.
Hi Kylie!
ReplyDeleteI will try to get a list to you! I loved using books as the core of my teaching, too. It's an excellent method, I think. It becomes imperative to find excellent books, though, right? My friend, Bonnie, was and is a wonderful resource for me, and we have our own lists, and collections. So, I'll get back to you on this. I didn't start with picture books, though, so I'll ask Bonnie about that (she has a collection of over 20,000 books:)
Blessings,
Wendy
