My son is a second grader and they are required this year to start learning about the different genre of books and a big one is non-fiction.  Can anyone recommend any good nonfiction books for this level or just below it?

The Story of Johnny Appleseed by Aliki

The Flag Maker (events that led to writing the "Star Spangled Banner") by Bartoletti, Susan Campbell

All Pigs are Beautiful by King-Smith, Dick

Cars by Levinson, Nancy Smiler

I hope this may help you!
