Olde World Style Maps by homeschoolinthewoods.com: A Review





In this year of reviews I have received tons of help on math, reading and spelling and just a little of geography.  This site, homeschoolinthewoods.com is going to fill in that gap I need for geography lessons.
The price is right for this product.  A lot of work has gone into preparing maps in several different formats to fit different needs.
