My daughters have always loved non-fiction- especially my youngest. I would actually try to encourage her to pick out fiction along with her stack of factual finds! I think it is great to expose them to all of the different genres.

I like the discovery basket- I did something similar when we were exploring Rock and Minerals.

We love Animal Baby, my oldest gets very excited when his magazine comes in the mail. We have a blast learning about the different animals each month.
