Nonfiction Monday has moved

Happy September 1st.

In case you were a Nonfiction Monday fan, this roundup of multiple blog posts about fantastic Nonfiction books for preschool and Elementary school readers that appears every Monday has moved to Facebook.  What does this mean?  It means that you can discover these links all week long, not just on Monday.  It's just that we try to put the links up on Mondays.

If you are not presently a Facebook member, it's easy to join just to read messages like these. You don't have to establish and keep posting on your home page/ your wall. You CAN just pop on to check out these reviews and then log off again.  (Facebook doesn't care)  On the other hand, you might just discover that some of your favorite authors are on Facebook and, if you are doing an author unit, this would be one place to find lots of information about them.

Please check this out. You'll be glad you did.  You can either follow the above link, or type in Nonfiction Monday in the search block to quickly jump to it.

Edited to say, it's been moved again.
It's back onto WordPress at this address:  http://nonfictionmonday.wordpress.com

Mother's Day books

Happy Mother's Day!

My oldest daughter took the 12-year-old out to buy a Mother's Day present -- and came home with Chocolate Covered Cherries hand made by Wockenfuss, a local candy company.
For me.
The best.
The very best.
YUM.

For your enjoyment, The Washington Parent online magazine has a collection of children's books (and one adult book) you might enjoy on Mother's day, collected by the famous writer and outstanding writing teacher, Mary Quattlebaum.  (Ya, she's also on the faculty of Vermont College of Fine Arts.)
Click on the name of the magazine to see.

Nonfiction Monday

Just a reminder that Nonfiction Monday is at Picture book of the Day today.

What is Nonfiction Monday?

It's a roundup of all the reviews of nonfiction books done on blogs on June 6th. When you go to this blog, you'll find links to them. Have fun clicking away. -wo

(for those of you who tried the link I posted on Monday, sorry. That blog went off the air Monday, so Picture book of the day jumped in to replace it. The other blog will return in a few days.)
