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.
Hard to believe that we're looking at the start of a new year!
I don't know about you, but I'm ready for 2017!
Especially for the books.
This week I'll be spotlighting books to come.
I have pages written in my notebook for each month.
Pulling out just a few over the next few days.
Lots more to come in 2017!
Today, nonfiction picture book fun!

I was lucky enough to see an early version of Fairy Floss, and it's great! Can't wait for everyone else to see it, too!

DeleteThank you so much for featuring my book, FAIRY FLOSS: THE SWEET STORY OF COTTON CANDY. It was a joy to work with Sonali Fry on this project and to learn more about the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis and the Electric Candy Making Machine.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I can't wait for the new Jason Chin one.
ReplyDeleteI want them all! Is that wrong?! Thanks for this heads-up post. I can tell that 2017 is going to be another great nonfiction PB reading year.
ReplyDeleteWow, Michele. It's a wonderful list! I've noted your entire post!
