I know that many of these are popular with students, either researching or just fascinated by the stories of past calamities, like Trapped, Typhoid Mary books. I enjoyed The Great Trouble very much. Thanks for the list!
ReplyDeleteI was more than a little surprised to see that picture of Miss Pickerell Goes to Mars. That series was a favorite of mine when I was young and I still have a few of my Miss Pickerell books. That aside, your podcast was very interesting and informative.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of fiction and nonfiction books exploring science.
ReplyDeleteGreat list and I've forwarded the podcast to my science loving friends. I recognize many of these and have read several. I remember loving Danny Dunn, Scientific Detective and Danny Dunn and the Universal Glue back in the late 70's.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great resource! I'm passing this along to our science teachers, thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteOh this is a wonderful resource list, thanks for gathering all these titles together. I have yet to catch up on podcasts. :)
