The Nonfiction Detectives and I are hosting a Non-Fiction Picture Book Challenge. At the beginning of each month, my goal is to post all of the new non-fiction picture books being released over the next 30 days.

I hadn't seen the Girl Scout book before, that would be perfect for our library!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lists of new non-fiction books! Your blog is so helpful to me. I look forward to participating in the non-fiction picture book challenge this year and adding some great titles to my classroom library and read aloud schedule! Now I have to figure out how to get my hands all of these new books without going broke!
ReplyDeleteJennifer - Thanks for commenting.
ReplyDeleteDebra - I tend to go to my local children's bookstore (and I am fortunate to have more than one) and I look at the titles and determine which ones are must buys. Some are good, but some are outstanding. Excited to see all of these titles as I find them.
