Amazing finds in Nonfiction

The nonfiction section isn't just for reports! Fiction lovers like me will find lots of interesting things in there--like Jon Scieszka's new memoir, Knucklehead. Full of hilarious stories in short chapters, plus illustrations and drawings, it's a really fun read, especially for boys, who will relate to the madcap stories about living with brothers and goofing off with buddies down the street.

You can also find all the folk and fairy tales in the nonfiction section. One of my favorite children's authors, Margaret Read MacDonald, has books in the folk tale section. She wrote some great picture books like The Squeaky Door, Little Rooster's Diamond Button, and Go to Sleep, Gecko!. Guaranteed fun for 3-6-year-olds. Actually, they're all fun for adults too, in a wonderful Pixar-movie-like way.
