Sisters and Brothers: Sibling Relationships in the Animal World
The best word to describe this collection of interesting animal facts will certainly be used by the students: cool. Every page has a new “Who knew?” about another animal. This book would make a great supplement to a science animals unit in an elementary classroom. Younger students and older students alike would like the content, but younger students would need it read to them.
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.
Children's librarians at the Allen County Public Library sometimes receive Advance Reading Copies and other free books from a variety of publishers. After reading, some of these books find their way onto this blog before being added to the permanent Library collection or given as gifts to the participants in our book programs.

I think this is a great book, but it didn't strike me as a particularly outstanding non-fiction offering. The illustrations (as always) are great.
