Second Grade: If the Three Bears Made Gingerbread.
If the Three Bears Made Gingerbread is a spin on two classic stories. It combines “The Three Bears” and “The Gingerbread Man” in a funny way.

Third Grade: Life of Mantis
Life of Mantis blends fantasy and facts to teach kids about the praying mantis in a fun and exciting way. The story weaves in various facts about the lives of praying mantises.

Fourth Grade: The Case of the Missing Axolotl
The Case of the Missing Axolotl is a collection of 10 short mystery stories geared towards fourth-grade readers or to serve as a bedtime story collection for kids who are a little younger.

What is Kindle Unlimited?
As you have seen, each of these books, and pretty much all of Brie Wetherby’s children’s books, are available for free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription. But what is that? Kindle Unlimited is a subscription service offered by Amazon that allows subscribers to access a vast library of ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines. For a monthly fee, users can borrow and read as many books as they want from the Kindle Unlimited catalog, which includes a wide range of genres and topics. It is easily searchable by category on Amazon if you just want to browse the books available. Or you can search for individual books to see if they are part of the subscription.
How Can Kindle Unlimited Benefit Homeschoolers?
The benefit of Kindle Unlimited is that it can serve as a cheap library with millions of books for homeschoolers to access right from the comfort of their homes. The collection is simply enormous and includes not only ebooks but also audiobooks. This is particularly beneficial for homeschooling families as it provides access to a wide variety of educational materials from fiction to nonfiction and easy readers to more complicated chapter books.
You can access these books on any device by downloading the Kindle App. So, you don’t need to have a Kindle device to take advantage of this cheap library subscription.
Another advantage of having a subscription to Kindle Unlimited is that users can keep Kindle Unlimited books as long as they want, with no due dates. This allows homeschoolers to work at their own pace and revisit materials whenever needed. However, you can only currently have 20 items checked out at a time.
Amazon often offers a free trial period for Kindle Unlimited, allowing users to explore the service and decide if it meets their needs before committing to a subscription. Be sure to check out these trial periods around the holidays!
