Earlier this week, one dozen authors of non-fiction books for children banded together to launch a blog called I.N.K.: Interesting Nonfiction for Kids. The still-expanding roster of talent, each of whom will post an entry at least once a month, includes Linda Salzman, Jennifer Armstrong, Padma Venkatraman, Loreen Leedy, Bob Raczka, Anna M.
