Jeopardy! fans know that record-smashing contestant James Holzhauer’s secret is reading “informational children’s books.” Perhaps James — or wannabe Jameses — might benefit from a subscription to The Horn Book Guide. Or maybe he should sign up for Nonfiction Notes from the Horn Book; our latest issue featured “Collective biographies for Women’s History Month,” “National Poetry Month 2019,” “Librarianship and information science,” and “Animals on the move.”
And speaking of the latter*: here is something that Horn Book editor Kitty Flynn learned from an informational children’s book. Alex Trebek, call her!
