People
AuthorPeter Spier
We still own the battered beaten-up copy of this homage to humanity that our two daughters returned to so often that it needed patching up with a judicious amount of sticky tape.

Publishers of nonfiction for children please note: a lot more people would read nonfiction if it was. . . better!

Everybody Needs a Rock
AuthorByrd Baylor

Well, this is a wonderful nostalgic book for adults who collected rocks when they were kids; I’m one of them. And, some kids who enjoy the natural world might appreciate it because it stresses their autonomy in the pursuit of choosing a rock of their very own. I also like how the girl stresses play with...
