Nonfiction Picture Book Dreaming: Spring 2015

Posted on by

The last time I made a wish list of nonfiction titles I was coveting, I was not able to buy books (long teacher strike). Now, I am making a list with my book purchasing power back in place. Always, I try to budget (not successfully). And always, I dream (very successfully)! We’ll see how many of these end up on my classroom shelves before summer.

Thanks to all of the bloggers I follow for highlighting these titles and keeping my nonfiction wish list ever growing. Here are ten titles I have my eye on!

And yes, there is a bit of a water and whale theme happening here.

Listed in order of publishing date.

  3. The Blue Whale has a lovely cover. And of course they all look good. I have One Plastic Bag from the library, Carrie, still haven’t read it. Love your dream list, & the Woodpecker Wham, Pulley Sayre & Jenkins-must be good!

  5. I love Robert Burleigh’s books–I didn’t know about this one. I need it! And the Winnie book–very eager for this. And the Water Is Water book. And the…. well, you know. ALL OF THEM! (I already have One Plastic Bag–it’s wonderful, very much worth the purchase!)
