Originally, I had another post planned for today and then thanks to a Facebook post by author, Melissa Stewart, I saw that the AAAS Subaru SB&F Longlist for excellence in Science Books was announced. Seriously, how did it already get to be the time for the end of the year reward lists? Regardless of how we got to the middle of October, I am excited to share some of the finalists. AAAS Subaru is always a great list of science books for children and if you are looking for a place to start reading children's nonfiction, anyone of these books would be a great choice.
