I homeschool and have used the Houghton Mifflin series that includes carousels, adventures, discoveries, caravans, etc. with my children from grade 3 up. I recently came into 3 books: weavers, secrets, and streamers, which are from the same publisher but from a different series. I am trying to find teacher manuals and workbooks for these. I pick the others up on Amazon or garage sales whenever I can, because I think they are still better than current material. Do you know of anywhere-aside from Amazon and Ebay-where I might be able to find related material? I hate to abandon the series because I can't find workbooks! I have often wondered if anyone else remembered these. I'm sure we use them partially because I have such memories of them from my school days. Thanks for any help you might have on this subject.

Stephanie, I'm sorry to say that I don't have any insight on finding workbooks. The extent of my expertise is that I tracked down the books I used in school via eBay, Amazon, and ABEbooks - plus a couple of lucky yard sale finds.

I loved reading "Images" in fourth grade, where we also acted out a production of "The Book That Saved the Earth" in class. I played Apprentice Noodle, and won a book award for being "Most Martianlike." We also read another book in this series, which I believe contained a selection from "Tom Sawyer," a futuristic story that included a moving sidewalk, and a first-person story about a kid who got to know a strange kid who said he was from Paris, and who spoke a bit of French. Could you tell me which book those stories were from?

My school had these books and I have been obtaining them online I have Honeycomb, Cloverleaf, Secrets, Rewards, Panorama, Fiesta, Kaleidoscope, Images, Galaxies, and Serendipity. (Those are the ones I most recall my school having) I remember one textbook that had a story about a deep sea diver and a grouper, The "Who's On First" skit from Abbott & Costello, a story about a coyote named Tako, one about a mole and a fox called "Gold Is Where You Find It." (from Julia Cunningham's "Maybe, a Mole"), and one about a heroic seagull named Nancy. I also seem to remember excerpts from Doris Gates' classic "Blue Willow" and Sheila Burnford's "The Incredible Journey". Were these stories in a different edition of one of the above textbooks? Thanks for any help. :) (PS: I also remember "The Book That Saved the Earth" under the title "Martians In The Library", with different illustrations.)

I have Images that I can donate.

These look familiar but I think I may be remembering them from the library. I only recently became interested in tracking down the textbooks we used but it's difficult remembering the specifics from the early 1970s, partly because we always required to have our textbooks covered with the handfolded paper covers... which I still don't understand.
