Additional Nonfiction Book Recommendations

 
 
Children often love to write about animals and favorite pets.  Help them know how to craft compelling and well-crafted nonfiction by sharing excellent nonfiction texts with them.  Numerous examples are offered everyday on the Nonfiction Detectives web site http://nonfictiondetectives.blogspot.com/2011/09/labrador-retriever-most-popular-by.html  Here is a recent recommendation from Nonfiction Detectives:

Labrador Retriever: Most Popular by Jessica Rudolph



"Where are the dog books?" That question can be heard in my library many times each day. Kids love to read about pets, especially dogs. I was pleased to learn Bearport Publishing has published a new series, Big Dogs Rule. The series includes nonfiction books about German Shepherds, Great Danes, Rottweilers, and more.

Labrador Retriever: Most Popular begins with the story of Pearl, a Lab that was rescued from an animal shelter and trained to locate people in disasters. Pearl used her training to locate people trapped in the rubble after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Rudolph outlines the history of Labrador retrievers and how they were used as fishing and hunting dogs due to their good sense of smell, ability to swim, strong bodies, and their instinct to retrieve. Other sections are devoted to Labs as guide dogs, competition dogs, and pets.

Colorful photographs of Labrador retrievers in action are placed throughout the book. Young readers will especially enjoy the photos of Lab puppies playing as well as the picture of a litter of pups snuggled up with their mother. Captions, bold print, and fact boxes (printed on dogs' tags) will aid readers as they navigate the text. An extensive glossary, index and bibliography are included in the back of the book. 

In this Reading Today feature, National-Louis University/Lisle professor Sunday Cummins recommends nonfiction books to pique students’ interest and engage them in reading:

·        Adventure Beneath the Sea by Kenneth Mallory, photographs by Brian Skerry (Boyds Mils Press, 2010), age 9 and up – A dramatic and humorous account of how scientists lived for seven days in a special tank 60 feet under the sea investigating a coral reef ecosystem.

·        The Buzz on Bees: Why Are They Disappearing? by Shelley Rotner and Anne Woodhull, photographs by Shelly Rotner (Holiday House, 2010), age 4 and up – The importance of bees to plant pollination and various products, and the mysterious disappearance of one-third of the honeybees in the U.S.

·        Seed Soil Sun: Earth’s Recipe for Food by Cris Peterson, photographs by David Lundquist (Boyds Mills Press, 2010), ages 4 and up – A handful of dirt has more living organisms than there are human beings on Earth! This book explores how soil, sunlight, water, and air produce plants that keep the planet alive.

·        Bones by Steve Jenkins (Scholastic, 2010) ages 9 and up – Many of the cut-paper bones in this book are actual size, others are scaled, accompanied by interesting information about bones and skeletons.

·        Survival at 40 Below by Debbie Miller, illustrations by Jon Van Zyle (Walker & Company, 2010), age 9 and up – Information about how animals survive icy winters in the Gates of Arctic National Park in Alaska, and how climate change threatens this habitat.

·        About Raptors: A Guide for Children by Cathryn Sill, illustrations by Jon Sill (Peachtree Publishers, 2010), age 4 and up – Information and illustrations on how birds of prey hunt and live, from the bald eagle to the northern goshawk.

·        How to Clean a Hippopotamus: A Look at Unusual Animal Partnerships by Steve Jenkins and Robin Page (Houghton Mifflin, 2010), age 4 and up – Examples in cut-paper art of symbiotic relationships between animals, including the Nile crocodile and birds that clean its teeth.

·        Disasters: Natural and Man-Made Catastrophes Through the Centuries by Brenda Guiberson (Christy Ottaviano Books, 2010), young adult – Each chapter describes a disaster, including 19 million Native Americans dying of smallpox and 300,000 people fleeing New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

·        Case Closed? Nine Mysteries Unlocked by Modern Science by Susan Hughes, illustrated by Michael Wandelmaier (Kids Can Press, 2010), young adult – How modern forensic science is solving disappearances that were mysteries for centuries.
