It's Today: Nonfiction Picture Book 10 for 10 #nf10for10


Goodness, how did it get here so fast?  Today's the day for our nonfiction picture book celebration.  This is an important event for me as it is a reminder to keep nonfiction texts in the front of mind.  It reminds me of the importance of weaving these texts alongside the other picture books we read.  It's certainly a great time to talk about nonfiction picture books as authors and publishers continue to grow in the work they do in this genre.

Ten hybrid texts I can't live without:

    Yes, hybrid, but I've used nf poetry with students who want diverse ways to share their research. World Make Way & When The Sun Shines on Antarctica are terrific! I still need to read Lovely Beasts, first on my list, Cathy! Thanks!

    Lucky me, I know about half of these and then the other half I need to explore. I love the word hybrid text and why mix things together. Mapping Sam truly has my interest peaked. I wonder if it's like Mapping Penny. Thanks for co-hosting with me!
