My Project

The books in this project and the students in my classroom have something in common...they are both AWESOME! Every book in this project has the word awesome in the title.

Everyone is a reader; some just haven't found their favorite book yet!

Everything Awesome is the go-to book series that leads students to discover a wealth of weird, wacky, and wild facts about dinosaurs, space, and sharks. The books are written comic style with bright and energetic artwork, fresh framing devices, and hilarious jokes. These books bridge the gap between encyclopedic nonfiction content and lighter picture book fare. Also included are the National Geographic Kids 5,000 Awesome Facts Book Series. The books are full of information about sensational topics kids love: royalty, gravity, bioluminescence, sloths, wildfires, bubblegum, cars, breakfast, aliens, you name it! I can already see my students excitedly exploring all of the awesome facts in these books! Thank you so much for considering this classroom-changing project!
