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



I am just back from ALA Annual and I have lots of upcoming books to share with you!  Make sure these books are on your must read list!  Today we're looking at nonfiction titles:
