Read the recently published nonfiction picture books for children, then learn more at the websites:

Author Susan Lendroth and illustrator Bob Kolar have teamed for a series of sing-a-long science picture books for young readers. Now available in board book format, HERE WE GO DIGGING FOR DINOSAUR BONES and HEY-HO, TO MARS WE’LL GO are the latest installments that began with OLD MANHATTAN HAS SOME FARMS. These books are a fun way to introduce science occupations to young children using motivating and familiar tunes.

This book which is meant to be sang to the tune of “Here we go ‘round the mulberry bush” informs children about dinosaurs. From the bone discovery to the building, young aspiring paleontologists can learn more about their future careers.

In this fun story about digging for dinosaur bones, the reader follows along and can sing Here We Go Digging for Dinosaur Bones to the tune of Here We Go Around the Mulberry Bush. It is a fun story about children searching for dinosaur bones and there are also fun facts in a bubble on each page. This would be a great read aloud for young readers as well as one on one. I would recommend this for any collection. The illustrations are colorful and will hold even a young child's attention. ( )
