"This 240 page book is well-organized and will save many busy home school moms a lot of time. If I were going to write a book-length geography unit study guide, it would be just like this. Now I don't have to, because Loree' Pettit and Dari Mullins have already done such a good job!" (Virginia Knowles in "The Hope Chest" newsletter)
"Galloping the Globe is great. We use the curriculum in our co-op classes with 2nd and 3rd graders. The children love it! The lessons are well researched and the materials are all emcompassing. I would highly recommend this curriculum to homeschoolers as well as any educator." (Tracy Hall - Rineyville, KY)

We are using Galloping The Globe not only for geography but also for history and loosely for science. Our kids are 2nd grade, K and preK. I had gone back and forth about the history issue and after prayer and discussion with my husband, we decided that historical biographies are the way to go for our kids at this age. GTG lists a lot of wonderful biographies! This decision was confirmed after just a few weeks of reading aloud the fascinating GTG-recommended biographies. Our kids have been fascinated with Christopher Columbus, Leif Erikson, and especially the missionary stories. Galloping The Globe is a great start! (Linda Southern California)
You all have done A LOT of work on the GTG. We LOVE LOVE LOVE Galloping the Globe!! Thanks so
much for putting so many long hours and hard work into such a wonderful program!!!
(Melanie Cornett)
We are greatly enjoying GTG! (Renee in TN)
This book is great! A geography unit study for young learners grades K-4. We started doing 5 in a Row, and my girls loved placing a story disk on our large wall map indicating where the stories took place, but that was where their interest stopped. With Galloping the Globe, the focus is more on the geography. This approach will captivate your children and create a love for geography!. Subjects included in this unit study are Geography, Bible, history, science, literature, and vocabulary. Maps and flags, reproducibles, puzzles, games, and craft ideas are also included! I highly recommend this!!!! The additional books needed include: Considering God's Creation, My Father's World (Rod and Staff), and some others. A great way to incorporate a number of great resources in your studies while teaching children of multiple ages. Many of the literature books suggested, if not all, listed can be found at your local library. Great recipe ideas, crafts, outline maps, flags to color, and much more are included!
