We watched a couple of episodes of "Treasure Quest" on Netflix last night. It's an interesting show that makes treasure hunting look very exciting! Today I pulled out some appropriate books and let the Lambies spend some fun time learning about various shipwrecks and treasure. I thought I'd share the books so you could share them with your family!

Sunken Treasure by Gail Gibbons

Treasure Hunt by George Sullivan

The Martyr of the Catacombs by an Anonymous Christian-found on an abandoned sailing ship in 1876
The Little Lambies made some treasure, too. Crowns, scepters and necklaces were made from paper and crayons, and lots of "what-if" stories were made up. The Legos are out, so I bet there'll be some sailing adventures soon. Their imaginations have definitely been sparked by this study! Too bad my camera battery is dead. I think we'll watch some Gillian's Island this afternoon.
We'll see where this interest takes them over the next few days! Do you have favorite books on the topic? Please share in the comments.
I grew up in the Bahamas, home-schooled for many years - now I run a treasure salvage boat finding real-life treasure and adventure diving on shipwrecks. May your family follow their hearts and find their treasures. One of my favorite books is the classic "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson - have read and re-read it since a child! Capt.
