Did many of you even have much nonfiction?

When someone grows nostalgic about childhood books, they generally talk about fiction, but my fiction reading nearly all came from the library and had to go back, so I don’t remember it as clearly as the nonfiction in the bookcase that I’d flip through and look at the pictures and read some here and there.

    I think the magic tree house books came with nonfiction pairs. “Jack’s notebooks” or something like that. I was crazy for them.

    But for me fiction and nonfiction were both mostly at the library, so I wouldn’t say the nonfiction books were around more.

      I suddenly realize what memories of the children’s section of the library I do have are 100% about fiction. They must have had at least a little nonfiction for kids, but…no memories.
