This Term in Library we have been focusing on the Children Shortlists. The years 4-6 did the shortlisted information books. The book were, Make Believe, Our Birds, Waves, Sorry Day, Bouncing Back and The Happiness Box. The winner was Sorry Day, which I personally didn’t like and gave a 17/30 (based on Visuals, information and layout). 

A great information book would have:

• • A bibliography (where they found the information)
  • Pictures relating to the text
  • An eye catching layout
  • Sometimes will have a content

My favourite book was Our Birds, it was made by a 16 year old aboriginal girl who took all the breathe taking pictures herself. The information wasn’t too overwhelming and interesting. At the start of the text to showed you the name of the bird in the aboriginal language.
