It's Monday! What are you reading?

I picked up this cute nonfiction gem from the review table at one of our monthly librarians' meetings:
The Truth About Bears: Seriously Funny Facts About Your Favorite Animals is one of a series of animal books by Maxwell Eaton III.  Talking bears--brown, polar, and black--narrate the book, adding facts and humor to the text.  We learn that koalas are not real bears, bears like to eat berries and animals, and that many are under threat due to disappearing habitats and food sources.  There are even helpful tips if one should come in contact with a bear (don't run or climb a tree!),  a fact file, and research resources for "cubs" and "full-sized bears".

I'll be weeding my nonfiction section this summer, and plan on getting Eaton's other animal fact books for our collection.  What nonfiction books do you like to read?
