One of my boys loves all things geography and this book list is great. I am trying to get him out of the nonfiction geography section every once in a while and I think these books will encourage him. Do you have a chapter book list like this too?

Hi Lacy! Sorry for not replying sooner. For chapter books I would suggest looking at this list:

Sonlight is a homeschool curriculum and their level F covers non-Western cultures so there are some great options there.
