Nonfiction Picture Book Challenge


Alyson Beecher over at Kid Lit Frenzy hosts a Nonfiction Picture Book Challenge and has a roundup every Wednesday. I love the encouragement to explore more non-fiction. I am thankful that she has this challenge because I know I have read more nonfiction texts as a result.



I got this series in the mail last week (minus the butterfly book) and am excited to share it with my students. The whole series is designed for younger readers. The books are laid out simply, but do share more than simple facts. The "zoom in" part of the title refers to the zoom bubbles that show the insects up close. The photographs are crisp and colorful and the facts are interesting too. They are eye-catching books that provide just the right balance of facts for my young researchers. I now know a lot more about fireflies than I did last week.

  3. This will be great for the youngest students, Crystal. I'll share with the young primary students. They study many kinds of animals & the books will be good to help them research. Thanks!
