How to Find Great Nonfiction Books
I'm looking forward to reading this book, Melissa! I think pairing nonfiction and poetry collection picture books (or even individual poems) also makes magic:>)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, Laura. We have included poetry in this book, such as Joyce Sidman's Song of the Water Boatman. We are currently working on Perfect Pairs for grades 3-5, which includes even more poetry titles.
