I'm glad to be back to share this Wednesday to Alyson Beecher's Non-Fiction Picture Book Challenge at her blog, Kidlit Frenzy. Because of this meme, I discover many great titles to find and read. I can't buy them all, and am lucky to have a good library that nearly always has the books I request. Here are a few books with stories and illustrations that just might become favorites of yours.
Thanks Alyson!
Some of us check in periodically with Carrie Gelson of There's A Book for That to share what we've read from our "must read" lists. We started these lists because in the excitement of newly published books, other books get left behind and don't get read. These books are worth a read, but keep being pushed aside. Sorry to say that in this past period I've only managed to read one of the books on my list, but it was a terrific one: The Great Trouble: A Mystery of London, the Blue Death, and a Boy Called Eel (click for my review) by Deborah Hopkinson. And, I'm reading another, Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater. I hope to do a lot of catching up this summer!
Here are the non-fiction picture books I'd like to share this week:
