Welcome to Nonfiction Monday! For those of you new to Nonfiction Monday, its a weekly event hosted by various blogs throughout the kidlitosphere. All you do is put a link to a nonfiction kidlit book you have read in the comments and we will update through out the day.
We are excited to be hosting this week and for today Cari reviewed Secrets of a Civil War Submarine: Solving the Mysteries of the H.L. Hunley by Sally M. Walker. A wonderful book full of adventure and intrigue about the first successful submarine attack and later the recovery of the submarine upon it’s discovery in August of 2009. Lots of appeal for science, history or math buffs! A great read for older children – I used it in my 8th grade U.S. History class. Holly reviewed My Own Two Feet by Beverly Cleary. A follow-up to A Girl From Yamhill, the first autobiography of Beverly Cleary. Both are great books for middle readers and above who identified with any of Beverly’s many lovable quirky characters- Ramona, Beezus, Henry and Ribsy, etc. I wish I’d had these books for a few English papers I had to do once upon a time.

Good morning and thanks for hosting. I reviewed Lizards by Mark O’Shea at Wrapped in Foil this week http://blog.wrappedinfoil.com/?p=224
Hi, I’m brand new to this carnival. First came across it on Friday (a twitter trail, of all things) and decided I’d love to play if that’s okay…
Review is of Something Out of Nothing – the biography of Marie Curie. It’s here: http://bookbrew.wordpress.com/2009/05/11/incredible-woman-amazing-discovery/
I think I left my link on the wrong post so I’m going to put it here now. Sorry. Thanks for hosting. I’ve posted One Small Square: Seashore: http://inneedofchocolate.wordpress.com/2009/05/11/non-fiction-monday-one-small-square-seashore/

Oops — not sure I did that right, sorry. We reviewed two “Silver Dolphin” books about ocean life, one a popup style and the other with a plastic model inside.

Okay I think I have everyone’s links (I hope). If I somehow missed yours let me know and I believe I got everyone that posted on the wrong post. Sorry if it wasn’t clear where to post.
Thanks for hosting–I have a look at Come to the Castle.
