Hi Jeanne, thanks so much for having this up early. Deeply appreciated. Here's my link which I am interweaving with "It's Monday what are you Reading" - Paul Janeczko's "Requiem: Poems of the Terezin Ghetto"

Thanks Jennifer for hosting Nonfiction Monday. True Tales & A Cherry On Top features a picture book biography - Words Set Me Free: The Story of Young Frederick Douglass. I thought this book was perfect for posting on Jean Little Library as the book includes a dedication honoring librarians. And I echo that tribute!

Thanks for hosting today Jennifer! I love your call system today. Can you believe that my local library does all the kids' books by author name?
My post today is for the older set, a set of 24 stories about Northern Kids in Canada's history.

Well, I wouldn't say I'm completely in love with Dewey myself, but if given the choice I'd opt for a BISAC or adaptation thereof, not just author names!
After a long hiatus I'm finally back to blogging and looking forward to reconnecting with the Nonfiction Monday crowd. Today I'm sharing a review of Mark Kurlansky's book WORLD WITHOUT FISH.
