Cynthia Levinson's tease:
"Catching the flu is bad enough. But, did you know that the US Constitution could make a flu pandemic even worse?!"

"Did you ever hear that daddy long-legs are the most poisonous spiders in the world? That got me curious and busy researching those spindly-legged beasts."

Kerrie Hollihan’s Tease
“Isaac Newton figured out the mathematics of gravity and motion and never told a soul.”
Roxie Munro's tease:
Laika, the Sputnik dog from the 60s, was not the first animal to fly. The first creatures were French!
Jan Adkins tease is a picture above but here are his words:
"Squeezing a good story into 400 words for a Nonfiction Minute is nearly the hardest thing I've ever done. But our readers are worth it."
Alexandra Siy’s Tease:
"Do you like taking tests? Probably not, but the Raindrop Quiz is actually fun and informative, so let's begin: What do YOU think is the shape of a falling raindrop? (No cheating, please!)"
Andrea Warren's Tease:
"Whatever I'm reading, when I find myself wondering about something that's related, I check it out. My curiosity has resulted in a couple of books and several of the Nonfiction Minutes that I've written."
Vicki Cobb's Tease:
"I went to a potato chip factory to learn about their problems for keeping their chips fresh. It’s all about the money, ka-ching, full STEM ahead!"

"Can you imagine what it would be like to have to find and kill prey in order to feed yourself and your family? That's what wolves have to do."

Amy Nathan’s Tease:
"In 1941, when most U.S. women didn't even have a license to drive a car, some gutsy women were at the controls of vehicles that were a lot more challenging and risky to operate."
Carla McClafferty's Tease:
George Washington didn't always look like the picture on a dollar bill. Find out how they discovered what color hair he had when he was a young man.

"Talk about fantastic felines! I turned up lots of true stories about America’s favorite pet. So give a meow and perk up your ears. We’ll have a puuurfectly fine time."
