Super Non-Fiction for Early Readers
Just in case I’m not the most ill-informed librarian on the planet, I thought I’d post a link to this series for anyone who hasn’t seen them yet. Harper Collins Let’s-Read-And-Find-Out Science.
These are just the early readers I’ve been looking for (of course they’ve been around for years, who knew and didn’t tell me?) Factual, nice-looking and satisfying. Reading a well written non-fiction book can really give an early reader a sense of accomplishment. The kids know when they are being talked down to, these books don’t do that. They’ve got great facts, longish sentences and multiple sentences per page. I particularly like this whale title, it was the perfect post-whale watch family read.
