Ooh! Off to read the tips for getting kids to read non-fic!

Great! Since I don’t have kids, that wasn’t an especially helpful link for me, but I figured there were some bloggers it would be helpful for 🙂

YES to the Canadian non-fiction list! (Did you make one previously? Now I have to backtrack and read all the Nonfiction Fridays that I missed!) And Mind Change looks like an interesting book, but the current reviews on Goodreads seem to be not so good…
Have a nice weekend! 🙂

I actually shared one someone else made last week too, so I was surprised to find another one this week! You’re right, the review of Mind Change have been pretty disappointing. It’s too bad, because I love reading nonfiction about how technology impacts our lives. I hope you’re having a great weekend too 🙂

Funny, my kid prefers to read non-fiction and it is hard to find enough books to satisfy her.

That’s great! I love when people love nonfiction and I think it’s great your daughter is starting young 🙂
