Our 3 younger children are reading POCAHONTAS (By: Ingri & Edgar d'Aulaire) and are apparently REALLY enjoying this particular study .....
.... because Miss Daisy (who is EVER SO patient and tolerant) was transformed today by Cherub 5 and Cherub 6 to be the Indian Princess, POCAHONTAS, with a custom-made head-dress. They included MANY details from the story (which is quite long for this age group) - it was too amazing !! And it was also explained to me that rather than the white ceremonial turkey-feather dress, the princess was wearing a very unique GOLD dog-feather dress. (yes, they did know that dogs do not have feathers - they were trying to be consistant as they could not figure out quite how to get Daisy covered in white feathers like Pocahontas in the story - THAT could have been ugly. HA !)
I just LOVE Charlotte Mason's methods .... and this was by far my most favorite "narration" given after a book is completed.
