"Informational children's books" FTW

by Horn Book
Apr 16, 2019 | Filed in Blogs

Jeopardy! fans know that record-smashing contestant James Holzhauer's secret is reading "informational children's books." Perhaps James — or wannabe Jameses — might benefit from a subscription to the Guide/Reviews Database, free during COVID-19. Browse our new [November 2020] Book Bundles feature or Nonfiction Notes archive, including "Collective biographies for Women's History Month," "Librarianship and information science," and "Animals on the move."

And speaking of the latter*: here is something that Horn Book editor Kitty Flynn learned from an informational children's book.



*For more jokes like this one (!), see "The Straight Poop on Potty Humor" from the May/June 2017 issue of The Horn Book Magazine: Special Issue: Humor.
