[MOSAIC] Non-fiction books

[Heather Wall]

Also consider looking in your school bookroom to see which author you have represented well.  I found that Melvin Berger had written lots of books that showcased many non-fiction conventions (index, headings, bold text, labeled drawings, etc.), so I changed my author study to him from Gail Gibbons, just because of the availability of texts...

Although it is not the highest quality of writing, the Magic Treehouse 
NON-FICTION paired books can be great in my opinion because you can pair a 
fiction and non-fiction book together.  My kids like the ones that I have.  
Gail Gibbons is wonderful for 2nd grade, but she does not use as many 
non-fcition concepts about print as some other authors.
