Jone MacCulloch is our Non-Fiction Picture Books category organizer this year, and at her blog Check It Out, she looks at books from the perspective of a K-5 school library media specialist and teacher. What's more, she's a regular participant in Poetry Friday.
During Poetry Friday last week, Jone took a look at category-busting Cybils nominee Where Else in the Wild? by David M. Schwarz, Yael Schy and Dwight Kuhn. It's a nominee in NFPB, but it combines the poetry form with fabulous non-fiction facts about creatures and delightful photography. Jone says:
The photos are stunning, the poems fun, and the facts informative. Put them all together and readers of all ages will be coming back again and again.
