Last year Macbeth spoke at the Family-Centered Conference hosted by MicheleQ. I can't remember if it was in her talk or when I peppered her with questions that she recommended books by Janice VanCleave, particularly for Math.

I found a few at a used book sale this weekend. These books are no nonsense, simple but not dumbed down hands on ideas. I really like them. I know Jen Mackfarm has recommended them here, too.

Her website and blog is Science Projects for Kids. Great stuff!

Can you share any favorite book or project inspired by her?

I met her at the Waco book sale not knowing who she really was. It was so fun! I don't have any of her stuff but plan on getting some and using them.

You can find a list of her books here from Wiley Publishers. She is definitely prolific!

Any favorite titles?

That is so cool, KC! I do that a lot, meet someone not really knowing much about them, then later after reading about them I become their biggest fan!

LOVE Janice Vancleave! How in the world can someone choose a favorite book...there are just too many. I really am partial to the "_________ For Every Kid" series.

We keep checking out her books from the library. We have a Rocks-Minerals one now. And, I like her Math one for the early years.

I really like her books. Love the layout, the print, the drawings, etc. They are very user-friendly.

Yeah, I can't pick a favorite book or project either! We've been using them for years. Our library has a great selection and we've gotten them at used book sales too.

I'd say we use the ______ for Every Kid books most. When my boys were very young I liked the Play and Find Out books.

Ditto this!!!

We love these books and they're great for activities that assist a particular study! I particularly like the format of the books.

I can't pick a favorite either!
