Nonfiction Monday: I know you know the answer to this one

I've been using Mondays to discuss books about writing, but yesterday, a priority request came in.

BOOK REQUEST ALERT!
CALLING ALL BOOK (AND SCIENCE) (AND POETRY) NERDS!

My daughter is designing the curriculum for a summer day camp for 1st and 2nd graders. The theme she's picked is: How Things Work. She has lots of ideas for hands-on activities, but she asked me for some book suggestions. Other than David Macaulay's standard of excellence, The New Way Things Work, what should she include? (Tricia, I'm going to your site now.)

And she'd love to find a poem on that theme, too. (Elaine, can you hear us?)

P.S. I can't imagine a better summer job for my literary/science-loving/crafty/ amazing daughter than this one.

Nonfiction Monday roundup is here, as always, at Picture Book of the Day. I'm going to plead my case over at I.N.K. (Interesting Nonfiction for Kids) too.
