“The world is so full of a number of things / I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings.”
Those are Robert Louis Stevenson’s words, and how true they are. God’s creation is a fascinating place, and learning the simple truths about it is one of the joys of childhood. Memoria Press’ Supplemental Science and Enrichment sets are a simple way to introduce your children to these truths.
NOTE: Some of these books refer to the age of the world in a way that contradicts young earth creationism, but we felt like they were the best books on the subject, and the reference to the age of the earth can easily be skipped as it is just mentioned and not dwelled upon.
