In this issue, I read the section on the “Outstanding Science Trade Books for Students.”&amp;nbsp; The selections are a collaboration of the National Science Teaching Association and the Children’s Book Council. In part 1 of this two-part podcast series, I share nine books that were selected for early elementary students.&amp;nbsp; The books are: “We are Branches” by Joyce Sidman “How Birds Sleep” by David Obuchowski “Jumper: A Day in the Life of a Backyard Jumping Spider” by Jessica Lanan “The Pie That Molly Grew” by Sue Heavenrich “Santiago Saw Things Differently: Santiago Ramon y Cajal, Artist, Doctor, Father of Neuroscience” by Christine Iverson “We are Starlings” by Robert Furrow and Donna Jo Napoli “At Home with the Prairie Dog: The Story of a Keystone Specie” bu Dorothy Hinshaw Patent “Creep, Leap, Crunch: A Food Chain Story” by Jody Jensen Shaffer “Queen of Leaves: The Story of Botanist Ynes Mexia” by Stephen Briseno K12Science http://k12science.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/30581238/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/169907243
