There are plenty of adventures for you to choose from if you were to select a "Redwall" book for your report. "Little House" book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder were some of my favorite books when I was growing up. They follow the Ingalls family as they move from the big woods to the prairie and onwards. Over the years, these books have inspired television shows and films that I used to watch with my mom and grandma. I even have the cookbooks and activity books. A lot of these resources are available on the Little House website. Be sure to check them out! The "Dear America" series feature over a dozen stories of young women in various moments of historical importance. Their stories are shared through fictional journal entries and have inspired many PBS movies. This Scholastic series has a website that includes information about the authors, read excerpts of the books, check out the fashion of the time, and find recipes from the different time periods. My favorite book is Margaret Ann Brady's journal about being on board of the Titanic. These books are very similar to the "My America" books, which are more for 2nd and 3rd graders. The "My Name is America" books follow the journals of young men in America and how they were involved in important time periods. "The Chronicles of Narnia" is a collection of seven books based in the magical land of Narnia. The one you might have heard of is "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe," as there are a few movie adaptions of the story. These books by C.S. Lewis are classics in children's literature. I highly recommend you check them out. |
