We just read Red Sand, Blue Sky that was recommended by Sonlight for the New Zealand study for history. My son wasn't crazy about it, so I looked up on Amazon an alternative. We found a delightful book called Aroha's Grand Adventure by Angela Oliver. It is a really cute story that features many of the animals that live in New Zealand. The kids loved it. Very few stories like this anymore that are actually 300 pages long.
We also put whatever activity pages we do, maps, and crafts related to the country we are studying on our bulletin board for the week.
