Nonfiction Monday is hosted today by The Miss Rumphius Effect.

In recognition of the day, my selection is Labor Day written by Mari C. Schuh. Written for K-3, this book is part of a series on national holidays. This work is illustrated with photographs and discusses when and why Labor Day was created and shares some of the ways in which people celebrate the day. The book includes a glossary and bibliography.

Here is the answer to Friday's Famous First: "Would Gracie-the-cat be jealous if the Pyes got a another pet - a dog?" is from the Newbery Honor Book, Ginger Pye by Eleanor Estes.
