The cover of Waiting for Winter just caught my eye - sounds perfect for your season. :) I haven't read much nonfiction lately, but my 11 year old daughter is preparing for a biography project - and she has chosen Amelia Earhart for her presentation - we borrowed quite a few good books, including Amelia Lost so I'm anticipating that I'd probably catch up on my nonfiction reading. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-65468292700694950522013-02-04T20:14:13.908-07:002013-02-04T20:14:13.908-07:00Yes, as I said earlier, it must be on the 'to ...Yes, as I said earlier, it must be on the 'to buy' list, Carrie.

I think my son, even at 11, would like Waiting for Winter. I also like the Pizza and Rosa Parks books--both sound like must-reads for me!

I also love the idea of The Pizza Book. Accessible and relatable non-fiction titles are always great to have. For my next Book Fairy visits to my kids third and 4/5th classrooms, I'm doing non-fiction titles. Third grade: Nic Bishop's Snakes and Jenkins' The Beetle Book. 4th/5th grade: Amelia Lost and How They Croaked. I bet they'll all be hits! <br /><br />LornaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-62945042752527557502013-02-04T05:54:08.062-07:002013-02-04T05:54:08.062-07:00There's just a lot to read, and want to read, ...There's just a lot to read, and want to read, isn't there?
