Nonfiction to the Rescue, Part 2

May 19, 2021April 22, 2021 by Zachary Stier
By featuring both nonfiction and fiction during storytime, you provide children an opportunity to experience the contrast between what is real and what is imaginative. Both are important for a successful reading experience. Here are 18 of my favorite nonfiction books to use in storytime programs.
Categories The Lamppost Tags A First Book of the Sea, All Kinds of Friends, All the Birds in the World, Among a Thousand Fireflies, Baljinder Kaur, Beware of the Crocodile, Daniel Rieley, David Elliott, David J Smith, David Opie, Dung Ho, Emily Sutton, Fabulous Frogs, Fauja Singh Keeps Going, Helen Frost, Here We Are, I am the Rain, If the World Were a Village, In the Woods, Jane McGuinness, John Paterson, Julia Finley Mosca, Just Like Me, Katharine McEwen, Leo and Diane Dillon, Libraries, library, Lyla Lee, Martin Jenkins, Me Jane, Mindy Kim and the Lunar New Year Parade, Nicola Davies, Nonfiction, Oliver Jeffers, Patrick McDonnell, Prickly Hedgehogs, programming, Rap a Tap Tap Here's Bojangles Think of That!, Rick Lieder, Rob Dunlavey, Sheila M. Kelly, Shelagh Armstrong, Shelly Rotner, Simran Jeet Singh, Sitoshi Kitamura, storytime, The Girl Who Thought in Pictures, Tim Hopgood, true stories, Vanessa Brantley-Newton, Who's Hiding in th River?, Zach Stier Leave a comment
