CBC's Outstanding Science Trade Books Announced
Here's another great book list to check out! The Children's Book Council (CBC) has announced its picks for its Outstanding Science Trade Books list. The list categorizes the books by subject and includes a summary of the book. The CBC, along with the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), have been creating this list for 51 years. The list's selection criteria include:
- The book has substantial science content
- Information is clear, accurate, and up-to-date.
- Theories and facts are clearly distinguished.
- Facts are not oversimplified to the point that the information is misleading.
- Generalizations are supported by facts, and significant facts are not omitted.
- Books are free of gender, ethnic, and socioeconomic bias
The CBC and NSTA chose 41 books for the list this year. Previous lists can be found on the CBC website.
