Join Alyson and others at Kid Lit Frenzy for a nonfiction picture book bonanza each week!
I haven't posted on Nonfiction Wednesday for awhile, but I can't let the Mock Sibert 2016 opportunity go by, led by our own Alyson Beecher! I don't want to miss out on the fun! So, I'm going to start with nonfiction books I've rated a 4 or 5 or shelved as "Mock Sibert 2016" and narrow from there. Here are some we're going to start with (in no particular order) - when I read new ones between now and January, I'll add them. I believe they meet the criteria, but when I reread, I will make sure. Here is my list so far (22 - my goal will be to make it 25 by the end of the year):
Uh oh! I don't think I blogged about Growing Up Pedro! Here is my Goodreads blurb:
I always enjoy Matt Tavares's books. Not being a baseball fan, I didn't know anything about Pedro Martinez, but this book taught me a lot and made me appreciate his path to greatness. It's not only about Pedro, though, it's also a tribute to his big brother, Ramon, who inspired and encouraged him throughout his life.
Here is my post about Earmuffs for Everyone.
Here is my post about The Most Amazing Creature of the Sea.
I really have to give The Most Amazing Creature of the Sea a chance. I keep getting it mentioned!
ReplyDeleteI love your list. High Tide for Horseshoe Crabs is so engaging--it's even face-out on the library shelves here in inland Idaho.
ReplyDeleteI love Gingerbread for Liberty, but I'm curious about what you think about its invented dialogue. Does that make it fiction instead of nonfiction? I'm very conflicted because I love the book so much and think it does such a good job telling about the true story of Christopher Ludwick.
Thank you for including The Sky Painter and Enchanted Air!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this list and all of your links! I am working on reading a number of nonfiction titles published in 2015 right now to narrow down my list!
