OK, just figured out why I wasn't drawn to BFIAR at first, though now I'm reconsidering... I am really wanting to integrate hands-on activities with the stories, and when I looked at BFIAR before it seemed very "talky" which I already do with my dd all the time.
And we already regularly read at least half the books on the booklist. So I'm just wondering how much hands-on stuff it does, as compared to Letter of the Week and Bible & Rhyme... Does my question make sense?
