By Mary Hill,
This hop has been on my radar for weeks now. I have a few books to share this week.
First, I bought the National Geographic Kids Almanac 2014 for my daughter. It is full of great graphics and fun facts.A gross fact that kids will love is found on page 76, “Bizarre Insects.” The most toxic insect in North America is th Puss Mouth Caterpillar. It sprays acid from its head! Yuk.
Now for the cute and fuzzy. Some may argue that this is not a picture book for kids or todddlers, but don’t tell that to my four-year-old granddaughter who has been reading The Cat Lovers’ Companion: A Book of Cat Days and Cat Ways since she was two. (Well, at least reading the pictures.) She grabs this book everytime she comes over. She loves the pretty cat pictures. She especially likes March which features this Ragdoll cat.
I hope you enjoy my first post to this hop. What great non-fiction for kids do you recommend? Hop by Kid Lit Frenzy and join the fun!

My kids would be all over the cat book for sure!! I have to say that I just received the Spring Catalogue from National Geographic Kids and I am seriously eyeballing the 2015 Almanac (I know … 2015!!)… and of course about 5 other books. I just love the NGK books – they are so fantastic! Thanks so much for joining us in the Kid Lit Blog Hop. So great to have you! 🙂
Hurrahh, so great to have you along on the hop. The Almanac looks very cool, but we will hold off on the cat book he he, allergies…. Thanks so much for joining us and we look forward to seeing you again through fabulous 2014
Great recommendations for a great beginning! I love non fiction for kids. These are lovely for any cat lover.NG books are awesome books for a kids home library too!

Terrific suggestions… The kid’s almanac looks like a real winner. Kids will love it!
Thanks for your first post for Nonfiction Picture Book Challenge. I love the National Geographic Kids books.
I have a friend who is crazy for cats. I will tell her about this book for sure. Thank you!
