Nonfiction Picture Book Wednesday - NCTE finds 11.29.17


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.


One of my favorite things to do at NCTE is roam the exhibit hall to check out new books and talk to the publishers.  This year on Saturday I was on the lookout for early readers and nonfiction picture books.  Today I am sharing the nonfiction picture books I found.  Here are the early readers I found.

  2. I'm jealous, Michele. I was hardly in the exhibit hall at all this year, and I did virtually no browsing of booths. Thanks for highlighting a few titles that I can add to my to be read Shelf!
