More books to download

I was looking around the other day for a place to download some audio books for the kids to listen to on our plane ride to Florida, and I found a great website.  It is the Storynory website.  They have quite a variety of audio books, with the added bonus of having the text written right there.  There is not even the need to purchase the book!  We have been listening to "Alice in Wonderland" in preparation for our trip.

You can check them out for yourself at http://storynory.com/.

Making Disney Educational

It has been a busy few weeks.  We have decided to take trip to Orlando in February.  We are planning several days at The Magic Kingdom and then a day at EPCOT and a day at the Wild Animal Kingdom.  I have been looking for some resources to make this a more educational trip, especially the EPCOT portion.  Madeline is particularly interested in geography and world cultures.  I have read reviews of the parks, browsed websites related to the park, and read books.  I recently found these books from www.vacationeducationbooks.com, which I am going to check out:

My biggest concern about them is that they may have too much of a religious leaning.  I am hoping that they will be good resources and have great ideas that I can work with.

I will let you know what I think!
