More new non fiction
The summer is winding down! The teachers at my school return on August 9. This is always a time of year that feels so full of potential. So many new ideas to try and so many new books to read! I found some non fiction books that are going to be great for my library! The first one is the third one in a series about famous people as kids. This one is called "Kid Artists" by David Stadler. (the first two were "Kid Presidents" and "Kid Athletes"). The artist one is just as great as the first two were. It follows the same format-short chapters about different famous artists as they were growing up. The stories usually tell an interesting but kind of unusual story about the subject that gives you an idea of what kind of artist they would become without telling the entire life story. There are funny little cartoony illustrations along the way that break up the text. There is an interesting variety of artists too, from far back...
