The Official Trickster Kit (Curiosity Kits) - Most kids love playing tricks on their friends and family members, and this kit has all the fun favorites that kids have been using for years. It includes classic favorites like the whoopee cushion, hand-buzzer, snake-in-the-can mixed nuts, icky teeth, weird and spacey eyeglasses, squirting camera, and bonus joke book. I gave the kit to two of my 7-year-old nephews, and they loved it (especially the whoopee cushion!)

Recommended for ages 6+.

Growing Without Schooling: A Record of a Grassroots Movement The original text of the first two years of Growing Without Schooling Magazine (GWS) are now available for the first time under one cover, reformatted and indexed for easy reading and reference. As you will see, from the very beginning reader's letters were an important part of GWS. This book is special, though, because you will read first-hand accounts from homeschooling's early pioneers and John Holt's ruminations on homeschooling. This book covers the August 1977-December 1979, issues #1-12 of GWS.

This books is currently out of print, so it's only available while supplies last. These are new copies.

Homeschooling: A Family's Journey by Gregory and Martine Millman - From inside the book's jacket: This intimate, eminently practical story of a successful homeschooled family of six children illuminates today's most exciting choice in education and shows how it works from cradle to college.

What is it that homeschoolers do that the public schools can't or won't? There are at least as many answers as there are studies. But nothing can capture the homeschooling experience in all its richness like the story of a real family that homeschools its children in middle-class America. Here is a remarkable portrait of the magic that occurs when a home - and, in the truest sense, the world - is transformed into a living classroom.

This family's journey emphasizes "freedom, innovation, autonomy, self-organization, and creative collaboration," following the interests of each child and fitting "the educational system to the child, instead of forcing the child to fit into a system."
