Children's nonfiction is published for all ages from toddler to young adult. Biographies are written for children in engaging styles. Children are often interested in public, historical, or literary figures. They aren't interchangeable, and a book that suits one child perfectly will be of no interest to another. The books on this list are all outstanding and ones I have recommended to many children who read them avidly . . .
Children love to be read to . . .
Share the books together. The links from the main title of the book are for hardcover editions, if the book is available in hard cover. If the book is also available in a paperback version, you'll find that link after at the end of the information about the book. If the only edition available is a paperbound one, that will be the main title link. Although most of these were published during those years, I have added other books I know and love.
