[MOSAIC] Literary Nonfiction

[Amy Geurkink-Coats]

I am looking for examples of literary nonfiction picture books. We began a unit of study today and I realized that we are going to need A LOT of mentor texts because my kids are amazed with this genre. 
 
We began today by reading passages from: 
 
1.  Homerun by Robert Burleigh
2.  Animal Snackers by Betsy Lewin 
3.  What Do You Do with a Tail Like This?  By Steven Jenkins and Robin Page
 
The noticings were fantastic! The class charted over three pages on an anchor chart.  
 
Thanks,
