5 video reviews: 4 positive
Reviewers are uniformly warm on Beautiful Feet Books: a literature-based approach that teaches history, geography, and science through stories rather than what one reviewer calls "dry forgettable textbooks." The recurring praise points are the book selections ("their book choices are always just absolutely beautiful") and the teacher guides, which walk parents through the literature and add discussion questions, activities, and timeline projects. One reviewer gave it a flat five out of five — creative, interest-based, critical thinking, easy to use, affordable — and several note the cost flexibility: you can buy a full pack (the History of Science set ran about $164.99), or buy just the teacher's guide and source the books used or from the library, and books are reusable across kids. The honest caveats come from actual use rather than quality complaints. One mom loved both the ancient history and history of science guides but only got about a quarter of the way through the year before her overloaded schedule forced her to drop them — these guides need a consistent slot in the week. The History of Science pack also includes dozens of experiments that require extra supplies (bacteria kits, telescope lens, microscope), and reviewers disagree on faith content: one lists Beautiful Feet among secular curricula, while the History of Science unboxing shows scripture copywork and calls it a Christian curriculum that presents multiple origins views with discussion questions rather than a hard stance. Note that no reviewer here voiced regret — the only abandonment was about time, not the product.
Synthesized from 5 independent video reviews — every claim sourced from what real homeschool parents said on camera.
Families who want history and science taught through beautiful living books with parent-led discussion, and who can commit a consistent weekly slot to it.
Parents juggling too many curricula to stay consistent with a teacher-led literature study, or those who need every supply included for the science experiments.

The Best Charlotte Mason Language Arts Curriculum | CHARLOTTE MASON INSPIRED HOMESCHOOL I've been a huge fan of Charlotte Mason ever since I read the book "For the Children's Sake" by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay (https://amzn.to/2QdDveS) when I first started homeschooling. (See all my favorite homeschool mom books here: https://amzn.to/2P5kmLi ). One of my goals was to find the best language arts curriculum that guided me in a Charlotte Mason style. I want to help you pick a good CM language arts curriculum. There are LOTS of options out there, I will list some, but it is definitely not all. Let’s look at what CM language arts would entail, so you can pick a good one that may fit this basic criteria. NEW to Homeschooling?

“beautiful feet books uses stories to teach history geography and science your kids can totally skip the dry forgettable textbooks and instead learn their information through stories”
“there's also discussion questions so you can all talk about it as a family it's organized by subject and it covers K through to 12th grade”
“I loved beautiful feet books. loved the ancient history one uh and the history of science one and I would highly recommend them as resources but we just didn't get to finish them.”
“beautiful feet books has amazing teacher guides that guide you through reading the literature”
“you can either buy the pack or you can buy everything individually so you can always purchase the teacher's guide and then look for these books used”
“there are so many different ways to make their curriculum fit your budget and that my friends is one of like the best things about beautiful feet books besides their customer service they have a wonderful customer service”
Reviews tell you what worked for someone else's kid. A 5-minute profile tells you what's likely to work for yours — matched across 1,307 programs, free, no signup needed to see your top picks.
Reviewers describe it as a teaching-through-literature curriculum covering history, geography, and science, organized by subject across K-12. Specific guides mentioned include ancient history, early US history, around the world picture books, and a History of Science pack for grades 4-7.
Reviewers consider it affordable and flexible. One cites about $200 for a set whose books are reusable across kids; the History of Science pack was $164.99 with free shipping over $100. You can also buy just the teacher's guide and find the books used, at the library, or in the publisher's buy/sell group.
Reviewers split on this. One includes it in a list of secular curricula, noting kids won't be taught the biblical meaning of the name. But the History of Science unboxing shows scripture copywork (Proverbs) and calls it a Christian curriculum — while noting its origins-of-the-universe section presents creationism, Big Bang, evolution, and evolutionary creation with discussion questions rather than a hard stance.
Per the unboxing, about 13 books (biographies of scientists like Newton, Curie, Edison, the Wright brothers), a teacher's guide, a timeline kit, and a DVD. It has 85 lessons covering ancient scientists to 1990 across biology, chemistry, and physics — a one-year study at 2-3 lessons per week, with dozens of experiments that need separately purchased supplies.
It is parent-led literature study: you read the books with your kids and use the guide's discussion questions, activities, and timeline work. Reviewers find the guides easy to use and stress the guide "is not your master" — you can skip projects or stretch a pack over two years. The one dropout story was about an overloaded schedule, not difficulty.
