I’m a little late joining this discussion, but I just came across your blog recently and am loving it! In fact I recently blogged about doing the “sink or float” activity with my kids, and I linked to you. Thanks!

Anyway, we’ve recently been reading a lot of non-fiction at our house too. My five year old is in a major question-asking phase and I’m loving it. I blogged a while back about some of our favorite non-fiction books here:

Thanks for sharing your favorites – I’m going to look into them!

One important point I wanted to make about nonfiction books is that they are great for struggling or reluctant readers – those who don’t necessarily enjoy the traditional book might really take to reading if the book involves a favorite subject (such as bugs or horses or a soccer).

We love Gail Gibbons books! Our local library is indispensable for our family. We always come home with a mix of fairy & folk tales, nonfiction books about whatever topics the kids are currently interested in (space seems to be the favorite at the moment) or learning about in preschool, fiction, classics and kids magazines, including Babybug for my almost 1-year-old…

My almost-4-year-old enjoys all modes of transportation, so we read nonfiction books about trains, trucks, airplanes, etc. I also try to sneak in books about the weather, one of my favorite topics!

Seymour Simon’s See More Readers and Scholastic’s Science Vocabulary Readers are a hit with my 4 year old. “Your Big Backyard” and “National Geographic for Little Kids” are great non-fiction magazines for little kids . We also pull out our Merriam-Webster Children’s Dictionary several times a week.

I still remember reading Zoobook magazines with my mom as a young kid, and I just realized they have magazines for toddlers too – I’ll have to check those out!
