Thank you everyone for all of the great posts each week for the Nonfiction Picture Book Challenge 2014. At the beginning of each month, I like to try to do a post to spread the word about recent releases or upcoming nonfiction/informational titles. It is not comprehensive, but I do try to include a variety of titles that might be of interest to readers. Some of them I have read and some I have yet to read. Often I include reviews in later posts.
Here are some May titles and a few books that I missed posting last month. I also found some additional titles that came out earlier in the year. If you missed the posts from the past four months, I have included them below.
