Yes, I bought travel by the book and there is another one for Britain.
We did the Laura Ingalls Wilder trip after third grade - since that is about the age of interest. It was incredible and we all loved the books and characters.
My daughter received many Junior Ranger patches from many National Parks and we had so much fun with them.
My daughter really does not like social studies unless she is traveling. We have explored quite a bit of Canada - we love it there.
Sounds wonderful and your child will benefit.
