A program of the Children's Services department of the Allen County (Indiana) Public Library. Please join our discussion of this year's best informational books for children.
Welcome to the ACPL Mock Sibert blog!
We're excited about all the new informational books for kids that will be published in 2011 and we look foward to highlighting some of the best here. We hope you'll join the discussion by leaving comments on the titles we post. If you'd like to suggest a title for our list, simply leave a comment or send us an email.
In January of 2012, we'll get together in person to talk about our favorites and vote for our Mock Sibert Award winners. Watch for details to be published later this year.

I found this to be a fascinating trip through a period of history, told by real people -- mostly young people. The photos and diagrams add to the interest, as does the antique-looking design of the book. The amount of text on a page is not too overwhelming for kids, and the language is clear and easy to understand. Lots of good documentation, too. Definitely a solid non-fiction book for kids.
