In reply to Erica MomandKiddo. We also enjoy “When Planet Earth Was New,” the illustrations are fantastic.

A preview is available on my website josephsettecasi.com

I would be glad to send you a copy to review.

In reply to Carly Jones. Hi Carly, glad you enjoyed the list. Unfortunately, I don't have a recommendation for you for "everyday materials."

Thank you ! A great list, I have subscribed and sent the web address to my colleagues. We are going to start a Science picture book library and use your list to get us started.

I'd love to know if there are any recommendations for teaching 'Everyday Materials'. We will be looking at categorisation of different materials and their properties. I'd love a picture book or 2 to use in my teaching of Y1-2.

Thanks again!
Carly

I love this list (and, indeed, all of the lists you do Erica) and I shared this with a preschool teacher today who was thrilled. In case you are interested, here is my annotated bibliography of informational read-alouds which I presented at a parent-teacher workshop: http://carolsimonlevin.blogspot.com/2013/10/uncommon-core-outstanding-informational_18.html

Great list. I'd like to add Cathryn Sill's series about animals and habitats. About Birds; About Mammals; About Habitats: Desert; About Habitats: Wetlands. Also Red eyed tree frog and Chameleon Chameleon both by Joy Cowley are great nonfiction titles for the toddler/preschool set. Steve Jenkins and Collard Sneed do animal titles for elementary school age kids. i love nonfiction books for kids 🙂

I love that there are so many picture books focusing on science! The first book I published was a picture book about the moon; we included an illustration of the Solar System and "Tanner's Moon Journal of Moon Facts." It should be our goal to get kids excited about learning! Thanks for this list of books!
