Flowers Bloom

Mary Dodson Wade’s extensive list of nonfiction books for children is known to be both well- researched and student friendly. The readers learning from her historical and science based books range from kindergarten through high school. Her topics range from biographies to plants to medical subjects such as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. She began writing when she was twelve, but found her poems were awful. They now serve as a reminder that the more you practice a skill, the better you get. Her book Flowers, Bloom is part of the I LIKE PLANTS series by Enslow Publishers. Other titles include Seeds Sprout and People Need Plants.

Nonfiction Monday: At the Sea Floor Cafe Giveaway

At the Sea Floor Cafe
by Leslie Bulion
Peachtree Publishers, 2011

This week we are giving away a copy of this new poetry collection by Leslie Bulion.
From the publisher's website:

The ocean covers two-thirds of our planet. It is Earth's largest ecosystem, full of organisms that make a living in wildly different and even extreme environments.
This clever collection of poems for kids describes the devious and sometimes surprising methods ocean denizens use to forage for food, capture prey, trick predators, and protect their young. The poems bobble and swim effortlessly from page to page, leading us from the snailshell home of the jeweled anemone crab to a raft of violet snails hanging upside down in their bubble houses. At the Sea Floor Cafe includes science notes with details about each animal's behavior, a glossary, and an appendix explaining the types of poems that appear on each spread. Striking linoleum prints round out this title, which can be used across the curriculum.

Reviews

“...This gathering of humorous poetry and fascinating facts should be welcomed as a companion to Bulion and Evans' previous collaboration, Hey There, Stink Bug! (2006) - even the surprise among the school of krill on the endpapers will make readers smile.” ―Kirkus

“...Beguiling lines should spark readers' interest in poetry and marine biology alike...” ―Publishers Weekly
