From gorgeous graphic art and history lessons to thought-provoking reads covering the important social issues of our time, there's something for nearly every young nonfiction fan in this webcast. Join us as Mitchel Lane, Child's World and Highlights bring an insider's first look into their new and upcoming nonfiction titles that are sure to keep even your most reluctant readers entertained and engaged this fall.

Featured Titles:

Who Am I? Pandas and Other Bears is packed with playful, fact-filled riddles about adorable giant pandas, strong polar bears, acrobatic black bears, and more. But here’s the twist: each riddle is a fun guessing game that challenges kids to figure out which amazing animal is being described. Plus, all the fascinating facts are vetted by an expert, ensuring accuracy and credibility for young learners.

Texas: From hiking in Big Bend National Park to learning the history of the Alamo, there's lots to see and do in Texas! Additional features include maps on each spread, state symbols, famous people, fact bubbles, and informative captions that highlight some of the things that make Texas special. A table of contents, sources for further research, a phonetic glossary, and an index support readers and extend learning. Texas is part of The Child’s World’s USA Travel Guides series.

Basketball Records That Will Be Tough to Beat: Basketball fans enjoy watching their favorite NBA players push themselves to their limits. The hard work and dedication of these professional athletes often results in amazing comebacks, game-winning buzzer-beaters, and championship titles. Sometimes these events also include record-breaking performances. Some records have stood for decades, with the bar set so high that even the best current players struggle to come anywhere close to challenging them. Part of the Unbreakable Sports Records? series, Basketball Records That Will Be Tough to Beat tells the stories of five record holders whose personal bests might just stand the test of time.
