Nonfiction Picture Book Wednesday My Mock Sibert long list 7.06.16


Every Wednesday I join Alyson Beecher from kidlitfrenzy and other
kidlit bloggers to share wonderful nonfiction picture books.
The intention of today's blog is to give educational professionals
new nonfiction reading material and ideas to use 
with students to promote a love of reading nonfiction materials.

We are halfway through the 2016 year already!  I thought this week I would pause and share my Mock long lists.

Today I am sharing my Mock Sibert long list.  Here are some titles I'm thinking we'll be talking about in January.

  1. It's interesting that 14/16 of these titles are PB bios. I too have noticed a plethora of them this year.

  4. I can't even chose a favourite, there's just too many! Like Melissa said above, there seems to have just been an explosion of pb biographies recently, which is pretty awesome.

  7. Great list. I'm really looking forward to Some Writer! and Esquivel! Funny how they both have exclamation points and they're the ones I am wanting. I still haven't read Woosh! - another ! and it's one I am eager to get my hands on. :)
