Favorite Nonfiction series?

History/Biography or Science? For a student with typical 2nd/3rd grade maturity and a decently high reading level.

I promise I’m not lazy.  My library just has super limited access right now (low limits and limited pick ups in a month), and I’m hoping to expand his nonfiction reading without picking a lot of duds.

He’s fascinated by airplanes, especially military aircraft, WWII, weather, and fun things like volcanoes and earthquakes.

My sons loves the "I Survived" series. They have several airplane/Ww2 books. I survived pearl harbor, etc.

My kids have enjoyed the Who Was/What Was series. You'd probably know them if you saw them--my kids call them the "big head books." My son liked Who Was Winston Churchill, Who was FDR, What was Pearl Harbor, What was D-Day, and others.

My kids loved Horrible History.

For history, I would recommend the Cornerstones of Freedom series.

For science, Seymour Simon books are very colorful and engaging.

I also like books by Jean Fritz and Russell Freedman for non-fiction.

Not totally a series, but there are 5 of these books by DK Publishing: https://www.amazon.com/Where-Earth-Atlas-World-Before/dp/1465458646/ref=sr_1_1?crid=33DB7FZ05SEMD&dchild=1&keywords=where+on+earth+atlas&qid=1595480379&sprefix=where+on+ear%2Caps%2C418&sr=8-1

They are wonderful maps with great ways of visually representing all kinds of data. We own all 5 and my kids read them for pleasure. These books are packed with interesting info!
