This slideshow presents the books chosen for the 2014 Outstanding Science Trade Books selected by a joint committee from the CBC/Children's Book Council and the National Science Teachers Association. It was prepared by Karen Hildebrand.
2. From the NSTA website:

“Reading science trade books is the perfect way for students to
build literacy skills while learning science content.
The books that appear in these lists were selected as outstanding
children’s science trade books. They were chosen by a book
review panel appointed by the National Science Teachers
Association (NSTA) and assembled in cooperation with the
Children’s Book Council (CBC).
NSTA and CBC have joined forces on this bibliographic project
since 1973, when the list was known as Outstanding Science
Trade Books for Children and was primarily targeted at grades K
through 8. Beginning in 2002, the list has been expanded to
include high school as well.”
29. In an effort to commemorate your
mother's unique ability to connect
readers with wildlife and the
environment , we are designing a
plaque that will be placed among
other conservation heroes at the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's
National Conservation Training
Center
(http://training.fws.gov/index.html)
in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.
The plaque will contain a short
paragraph (250 words or less) about
her life, an evocative quote, and a
photograph. You can find a list of
previously honored conservation
heroes, which includes your Uncles
Frank and John Craighead, at

Heroes.html.
