I am a teacher looking for children’s picture books that do not have any words. This will aid in teaching the students to write their own stories when only the pictures are given. Do you know of any, or can you come up with a list of a few books, or websites that offer lists? I know they are out there, but they are hard to find among the many many picture books that do have words!

Just thought it’d be cool to share as home educators what books our children are enjoying, public and private schoolers may reply too as well as their parents. My 12yo ds learned the formula for PI from “Archimedes and the Door To Science” as well as numerous other types of math and he really desires to learn more geometry and algebra because of that book. Right now he is enjoying “The Mystery of the Periodic Table”, it has inspired to learn both within and outside the book the science of chemistry. He loved all the “Harry Potter” novels. My 8yo dd loves “Handbook of Nature Study” by Anna Comstock, “The Secret Garden”, and now she too is enjoying the “Harry Potter” series and she adores the classic “Secret of the Woods” by William Long. Both really like to read living books that bring life to history, biographies, sciences, etc….

What books have not only inspired your children but have also helped develop within your child(ren) a natural love for learning?

For me, the scarlet letter (Nathaniel Hawthorne), Siddhartha (Hermann Hesse), Rebecca (Daphne du Maurier) and ANYTHING Agatha Christie. I’ve read most of Jane Austen’s books but I thought they were sort of boring :/

What about you?
To kill a mockingbird is a good one too!

My favorite agatha christie is ten little indians. i also like her short story jane in search of a job. i don’t know why, lol.
