I just started doing this as well. I've taken books like the Laura Ingall's series and Anne of Green Gables and I'm rereading them to gather vocabulary lists and questions. Then as we read the books I'd like to add in history, geography and other lessons to go along with whatever book we're doing at that time.

I've looked at unit studies for books like Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia - they cost an arm and a leg. So I just decided to do it myself - besides it gives me a chance to reread some of my favorites.

That's a great idea you have and I'd be willing to do the same.

These might help with the Laura Ingalls Wilder stuff:

There's a course online for "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings" at the following link:

I printed it out last year, and one of my sons just finished reading LOTR, but we haven't gotten to the unit study yet. Some good ideas there, though.
