Did you know that 80% of the books in a children's library are non-fiction titles? Kids, especially boys, love non-fiction. And interestingly, a League of Conservation Voters study found that most people receive their information about the environment from materials that their children bring home from school. So, adults love non-fiction too. I'd like to point you to an excellent blog about Interesting Non-fiction for Kids (INK) run by a group of non-fiction writers some of whom are also illustrators. Loreen Leedy, one of the posting author/illustrators featured some of the coral reef illustrations from a previous post on my blog:

Scroll down the page to see Loreen's post,but it is ALL interesting at the INK blog.
