This is the final post for Science Book Week. Today we’re going to highlight science-related picture books that were nominated for the 2011 Cybils awards. These picture books are for roughly 4-8 year olds.
What are Cybils? The acronym stands for Children’s and Young adult Bloggers Literary awards. Bloggers who specialize in children’s and young adult books have developed the Cybils awards to celebrate some of the best books published in the previous year.
In fact, the Cybils nomination lists are great ways to find wonderful books for children of all ages and genres. (The Cybils link will take you to the website.)
Also, if you are ever looking for more science books for children, be sure to check the science books for kids button at the top of the blog. I’ll be adding these books and more to that list as time goes by.
