So You Want to Build A Human?, elementary biology kids can’t resist.

Having spent a lot of time in elementary school libraries and taught hundreds of children that age I know that they do not mind reading non-fiction books. Granted most of them might reach for graphic novels or illustrated books initially, and they might scream or holler when presented with non-fiction, but that’s all for show. Once they dive into those truth-ridden books they’ll be happy, swim in knowledge, and regurgitate facts back to you with glee. So You Want to Build A Human? is one of those non-fiction, illustrated books. It’s an oversized, vividly illustrated look that looks at the major components and systems that make up you and me.

So You Want To Build A Human? is a biology book aimed at elementary kids and older via bite-sized chunks they can read.

Machines In Motion, pointed vehicle history with great art

Imagine that Billy from The Family Circus was all grown up and has become an engineer. From time to time he still reverts back to his habit of drawing where he’s visited around the neighborhood. Machines In Motion, by Tom Jackson with illustrations by Chris Mould has moments that will remind cartoon fans of his exploits, but at a much more educational level.  Think of a vehicle that moves people and it’s covered in this book to some extent. It’s a big, over sized book that will grab upper elementary through middle school readers by the hand and make them want to learn about transportation.
