Here is a overview of the book...
Why Not Knot for Fun?
A Kid's Guide to Knots and Adventure
Book includes 7 feet of Action CordTM for knot tying practice!
Have you or your child ever tried learning knots only to have difficulty finding good resources that lay out the steps in an understandable way? Looking for a resource to help you to remember the knots? And what do you do with the knots once you learn how to tie them?
Why Not Knot for Fun? will teach you and your child:
How to tie 12 basic and useful knots they will use for a lifetime
Why they should always carry rope
How to hang an old fashioned Swing without modern hardware or damage to a tree
How to build your own Adventure Course using rope and knots
And much more!
With unique photographic, step-by-step instructions and a lay-flat coil binding, Why Not Knot for Fun? teaches you and your child to tie knots with confidence. No more holding the book open with one hand and trying to tie with the other! No pictures of hands to get in the way! And learning is reinforced with engaging and practical activities that use each of the knots.
Rope and knots provide an unlimited combination of structures, bridges, ladders, and swings, that can be easily moved, modified, and rebuilt for a fresh and new play experience. You and your child will build confidence and imagination as they master rope for outdoor play.
64 page, 8-1/2" x 11" format, plasticoil bound, full color glossy print.

Hi. Please enter me in the contest. I would chose the book What Does the Bible Say About That?
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

What he must be.... If he wants to marry my daughter. By Voddie Baucham Jr.
What he must be.... If he wants to marry my daughter. By Voddie Baucham Jr.
Here's a description:
******All parents want their daughters to marry godly young men. But which qualities, specifically, should they be looking for?
What will you say when that certain young man sits down in your living room, sweaty-palmed and tongue-tied, and asks your permission to marry your daughter? What criteria should he meet before the two of them join together for life? What He Must Be… If He Wants to Marry My Daughter outlines ten qualities parents should look for in a son-in-law, including trustworthiness, a willingness to lead his family, an understanding of his wife’s role, and various spiritual leadership qualities.
Author Voddie Baucham follows up on his popular book Family Driven Faith with this compelling apologetic of biblical manhood. By studying the principles outlined in his book, parents who want their daughter to marry a godly man—as well as those who want their sons to become godly men—will be well equipped to help their children look for and develop these God-honoring qualities.*********
AND What does the Bible say about that?
by: Carolyn Larsen
Here's a description:
*******Hundreds of everyday topics and cartoons spice up this kid-friendly book to assure 8- to 12-year-olds that God’s Word is relevant to their lives.
Most kids don’t realize it, but God’s Word has a lot to say about the things they care about most—and this lively book leaves no doubt about it. Covering more than 300 everyday topics in conversational, engaging, one-page units, 8- to 12-year-olds will get biblical perspective on such topics as: homework, dieting, anger, sports, classmates, the telephone, puberty, careers, siblings, rules, self-confidence, world events, sleep, friendship, nature, movies, embarrassment, tattoos, integrity, and knowing God, plus many more.
Each page of this kid-friendly book illustrates what a particular topic has to do with the Bible, what the Bible says about it, and how the Bible’s teaching applies to readers, so that they begin to understand how relevant God’s Word is to them. And with 200 original cartoons spicing up the presentation, What Does the Bible Say about That? is quite simply an unforgettably fun book for elementary-age kids—and a great conversation-starter for adults who know them.**********
All you have to do to enter this month's contest is to leave me a blog or an email address. And your choice of which book you would prefer. I will pick a random winner, one for each book.
Please one entry per person.
I will draw for a winner on Thursday, April 30th.
*****To win you must be 18 years or older and live in the U.S.!******
*****Posted by Stacy: town5@hotmail.com (70.253.111.208) what a valuable book to have in your arsenal! I've been wanting to find out about safer, more natural cleaners for a long time, especially since I often have my children doing household chores. ******

We at Salem Ridge Press are once again giving away free books through The Old Schoolhouse Magazine as a fun way to let families know about our company!
Salem Ridge Press is a publishing company, established in November, 2005, dedicated to bringing back quality children's books of the 1800's and early 1900's for a new generation of readers. As homeschoolers ourselves, we work hard to find and republish wholesome, exciting, well-written books that you can feel good about giving to your family.
We are striving to build our reputation as a trusted source of excellent books, both for use as history supplements and simply for great reading, and our hope is that once families have the opportunity to see and read one of our books, they will come back for more. In our current contest, twenty-five families will each receive the softcover book of their choice from the twenty-three titles we have republished so far. We are excited to be sponsoring this contest and thrilled to share our books with you. We hope you enjoy them as much as we have!
We also invite you to sign up on our website for our quarterly newsletter and another opportunity to win a free book. We anticipate publishing seven to ten new titles this year, and as we publish each new title, we will choose one family who receives our newsletter to receive a free copy. Your family could be one of the first to read a newly republished title, many of which have not been in print for nearly a century!
To enter this contest just leave a comment here with either your email address or a link to your blog/website where your email address can be found, plus leave us the name of the book you would like most to win. Click here to view the titles.

Kris Price's review of the Spring 2008 issue of Seasons at Home.
~After receiving my second issue of Seasons at Home, I have to say that I am still as impressed with the content as I was with the premiere issue in Fall 2007. There are so many wonderful articles and projects in this 100+ page magazine. Rag quilting, Ribbon embroidery, Homemade grain pasta, making ice cream, Putting up Food (canning). Some homeschool articles about Geography and Science, a "Dad's project" - "Build a simple Hope Chest" for a little ladies room, Build a Morse Code Box for boys, Little Ladies Victorian Tea, of course encouragement articles throughout.
And the encouraging, uplifting articles are also appreciated by this stay-at-home mom. I encourage people to take a really close look at this publication which has well-written project instructions that even children can understand!
I can't wait for the Summer issue to arrive in my mailbox!~
So leave us a comment and check back to see who wins!
Blessings to each and everyone of you!
