Nonfiction Monday is Here Today

I'm collecting links today of the Nonfiction Monday reviews of great nonfiction books for kids and other nonfiction posts of interest. Since I will be adding more and more links during the day, do check back this evening to see them all.

If you are interested in writing nonfiction, these links might interest you:

Rosi Holinbeck wrote about the Highlights Foundation Non-Fiction Workshop with Peter Jacobi on her blog, The Write Stuff. I know several people who have attended this workshop and can't recommend it highly enough. If you can possibly manage to attend one of these, your writing surely will improve.

Another author, Melissa Higgins, is writing a series of posts about a nonfiction Work for Hire project she's working on. If you are interested in seeing the process, click on this blog link and then come back in the next weeks as well to explore her thoughts about this project at MG Higgins.

Of course, my favorite nonfiction writer's blog is I.N.K. Interesting Nonfiction for Kids.

Here are the book reviews:

Sue, at Archimedes Notebook has posted a review of Up, Up and Away, a story of a spiderlings journey written by Ginger Wadsworth. (Oh Ginger, you KNOW my reaction to spiders!)

Jeff Barger at NC Teacher Stuff has a post about Medieval Life.

Jennifer at Jean Little Library has a review of The Secret Lives of Backyard Bugs.

Amy at Hope is the Word liked the new Chris Van Allsburg book, Queen of the Falls, today.

Over at the blog, Apples with Many Seeds, Tammy has posted about two sports books from the series, RecordBooks. ONe is a biography of Jordin Tootoo, the first Inuit to play in the National Hockey League. The second book is more historical, Tough Guys, which looks at hockey in the early 1900s and the impact of WWI and the Spanish Flu on the teams and league.

There's a review of Come See the Earth Turn at Bookmuse today.
