This is my book blog. To access my blog about reading and books and issues (CCSS, censorship, and the like), visit: http://professornana.livejournal.com I am a professor in the Department of Library Science at Sam Houston State University in Texas where I teach classes in literature for children, tweens, and teens.

Dinos Galore!
HOW BIG WERE DINOSAURS? by Lita Judge. Roaring Brook Press, August 2013.
THE GREATEST DINOSAUR EVER by Brenda Z. Guiberson with illustrations by Gennady Spirin. Holt, October 2013.
THE BIG GOLDEN BOOK OF DINOSAURS by Robert Bakker with illustrations by Luis Rey. Golden Book, 2013.
So, all you looking for books for meeting CCSS standards, here I a trio that, used together, will provide for some interesting material for classroom lessons. Compare and contrast illustrations in terms of media and style. Examine how the texts are different from one book to another. From informational text to narrative nonfiction to books that use a more fanciful blend of fiction and fact: this demonstrates that simply using the term nonfiction will never suffice.
