I’m glad my review was helpful. We are still using Sassafras and are on Volume 4: Earth Science now. My kids (ages 6 and 8) really like listening to the story whenever we are in the car and the lapbook is just a small amount of work each week. I would like to incorporate more hands-on science in the future, but for now this is still working for us (mostly since it hardly requires any prep). Good luck!

I don’t think so! My son is in second grade now and we just finished the third volume (Botany) today. He and my kindergartner both still really like it. I’m definitely planning to use it with them next year as well. Honestly, the science that they cover is almost too advanced for their ages, but I’m just happy with whatever they happen to retain. I would recommend purchasing *just* the story and reading it to your kids to see if you like it first, though. It works really well for my family, because they love listening to the audiobook in the car and we drive a lot, but I have a friend that tried it and she and her kids thought it was too boring.

I’m glad to be of help! Let me know if you have any more questions. If you’re interested in living book series, I’ve also been meaning to look into Quark Chronicles. I heard it was for slightly older kids than Sassafras, so maybe we’ll graduate to that one day. Good luck with whatever you decide!
