NNFN2024: A Little Blue Dot

November is flying by-but there are still plenty of days left to share lots of fabulous factual books. Today’s book is ‘A Little Blue Dot, from Mama Makes Books, a small, independent publisher.

‘A Little Blue Dot’ is a lovely example of narrative non-fiction, allowing younger readers the joys of a story combined with accurately researched facts and details. Here, Earth, an ‘inconspicuous’ blue dot, contemplates the other planets as she floats in space. She feels that all the other planets are special, whilst she isn’t. As she contemplates the wonders of Mercury, the beauties of Venus and so on, she shares information about each one until she is interrupted by the other planets assure her that they are all jealous of her. Then Earth hears a little voice with something very important to say…

Through the conversational tone of the text and adorable illustrations, readers are offered a wealth of information about the planets which is accessible and entertaining. A little fact file about each planet is also presented on the end papers which shows them all in order from the sun with the Asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt included.

There is, of course, the additional benefit of a subtle message about not comparing yourself to others and realising just how unique and special everyone is which can easily be drawn from the story should readers wish. However, there is no questioning the importance or value of cleverly written narrative non-fiction texts in both reading for pleasure and reading for information. This delightful book is perfect for allowing children to learn more about the planets- and enjoy a lovely story along the way!

NNFN2024: An Anthology of Exquisite Birds

Once again, I must apologise for the lack of photos. Despite having contacted Squarespace and followed their ‘advice’, the site is still not working correctly.

For day 20 of National Non-Fiction November, I am sharing ‘An Anthology of Exquisite Birds’, a very beautiful book which I wish I could hare pictures of- however, enough of my frustration!

Ben Hoare’s passion for birds and desire to inspire and enthuse others is absolutely infectious and, although I am not a fan of the term ‘gift book’, this one would make a very special present for any bird lover.

The contents introduces the reader to the wealth of birds captured in its pages. Sections indicated in italics focus on more generic topics like ‘beaks’ or ‘eggs’ which offer comparisons and comments about specific breeds of bird. Everything is beautifully presented: inside, a mixture of photographs and illustrations on each spread, outside, gold page edges and an embossed cover.

Readers learn how many of these birds got their names as well as some of the myths and legends associated with them. There is such a wealth of knowledge here- you might start by looking up a specific bird, but the easy style of the text and the author’s great knowledge and enthusiasm will lead you to others. A real gem, this is an absolute keeper!

NNFN2024: Flight: From a Balloon to the Moon – and Beyond

I apologise for the absence of pictures from this post. Squarespace is useless and keeps changing things. It currently will not allow me to add images, although yesterday, there was no problem with this.

From the story of Brother Elmer, a flying monk, to looking towards a greener future for the aviation industry, ‘Flight’ offers a completely absorbing look at the history of flying through the stories of the men and women whose achievements helped its development.

Each story is attractively presented, starting with a full-page illustration by Terri Po and the date and location of each is given under the title. The courage, creativity and passion of these pioneers is celebrated as their adventures are recounted and the author includes information about other developments in each field and other pioneers who achieved them.

Whether you are someone interested in aviation or not, ‘Flight’ is a fascinating read. Names like the Wright Brothers, Louis Blériot and Queen Bess are probably familiar to many, but the book also includes the stories of people like a nameless ten-year-old boy, persuaded by George Cayley to fly the glider he had designed, who is thought to be the first person to fly a plane anywhere in the world! Another less familiar name is that of Katherine Stinson, who became the first female pilot authorised by the American government to carry mail by air and went on to stunt-flying.

‘Flight’ takes the reader through history up to the most recent developments in flying experience. The book closes with the development of SpaceShipOne and challenges the reader to reflect on the environmental impact of flight and rocket launches, finishing with a section on the possibilities of ‘greener’ flight.

Perfect for enriching the primary curriculum, developing an interest in aviation or for discovering more about key players in this field, ‘Flight’ make an excellent addition to any library or bookshelf.

I was surprised by the variety of dishes which can be made using an air fryer. Offering plenty of choice, each recipe has clear instructions, clearly showing where children should ask for help, with additional tips and suggestions for varying the dish. The lemon drizzle cupcakes were a huge success - easy to make, delicious to eat! Perfect for aspiring chefs and cooking-refusers alike, this book is wonderful for everyone!

NNFN2024 Review Tour: Winter Windows

It’s my first slot today on the NNFN 2024 Bloggers’ Review Tour and I am sharing something which is perfect for inspiring creativity and allowing families and friends to share the joy of Christmas crafting!

‘Winter Windows’ contains both a booklet and wallet containing stickers, patterned paper, pop-outs and twenty transparent picture pages. In order to make the projects in the book, all that is needed is some colouring pencils (paints, crayons or felt tips), scissors, sticky tape or glue and a little imagination!

The booklet is full of ideas for how to use the resources in the wallet. By colouring in the transparencies, various scenes can be created and used to make baubles, cards, gift tags, bunting and lanterns amongst other things. Advice is given to use LED lights as projects should not be put near candles or lightbulbs, as the transparencies come to life when they are lit up, offering a festive glow.

One of the lovely things about this book is that the ideas here are sure to lead to others, encouraging children to be creative. Tracing paper is both readily available and relatively cheap, allowing for new pictures to be made easily. The ‘Elf door’ activity allows children to create a scene behind an opening door which, with a little imagination, could easily be adapted to include a family gathering. Similarly, the winter scene could be altered to include their own home.

The activities included here are sure to engage and entertain children as well as giving them the opportunity to create gifts and decorations for family and friends.

NNFN2024: Boats and Space

Two brilliant choices for day 13 of NNFN2024, both created by Jan van der Veken. ‘Boats’ and ‘Space’ are both fascinating books, full of detail to keep readers entertained for hours.

‘Space’ starts by looking at rockets with labelled diagrams, supporting readers in identifying their components.

Labelled diagrams are used for clarification and there is a comprehensive glossary at the end of the book.

NNFN2024: Volcano Atlas

I have taught the topic of ‘Volcanoes’ many times during my teaching career and really wish that I had had ‘Volcano Atlas’ to support both me in my teaching and my classes in their learning!

Photos of each focused plant accompany the text which explores its appearance, where it can be found, its scientific and common names, the parts you can eat, when best to pick it before looking at what you can do with it.

For day seven of National Non-Fiction November 2024, a book which is perfect for interesting children in works of art- and those who create them!

Presenting a selection of artists from all over the world, this book offers a wonderful introduction to both the people and their creations.

NNFN2024: Amazing Asia

‘Amazing Asia’ is a stunning book. Even before opening it, there are so many details to notice on the foil embossed cover that the reader knows they are going to be in for a real treat of a read! Subtitled ‘An Encyclopaedia of an Epic Continent’, there is so much information packed into the book, complemented by beautiful illustrations, maps and timelines.

Having introduced the continent, there are then sections focusing on the different areas- east, south, southeast, west and north and central before looking at ‘Global Asia’. Each section opens with a map and a timeline of that area, allowing the reader to immerse themselves in the discovery of that region and to begin to appreciate just what an incredibly diverse and fascinating continent Asia is. Information about the people, culture, history, wildlife, landscape, sights and significant figures all builds a picture of the contributions Asia has made to the world.

East Asia is the region I am most familiar with, having visited China, Hong Kong, Macao, South Korea and Japan, so I was drawn to this section of the book first and really enjoyed revisiting those places through both text and illustration. Rashmi Sirdeshpande’s enthusiasm for her subject is infectious, clearly colouring her writing and making the reader long to visit every location mentioned and enjoy its wonders for themselves.

This is an essential text for schools to allow children, both those with roots in Asia and those with none, to read a refreshing and informative account about the continent which celebrates its diversity, culture and people, challenging unhealthy stereotypes and prejudices. It is perfect for browsing at leisure, dipping in and out of, or using as a research tool with its comprehensive index, glossary and contents page.

As I said previously, this is a stunning book, beautifully illustrated, thoughtfully written and gorgeously presented, making it a standout text in all areas.
