? Top 10 elementary book list

[Robert Hallett <rhallett@UMD5.UMD.EDU>]

Dear Colleagues,

     For the first time in 2 years, I'm actually getting to write a
purchase order for new books (we have principal-based management in our
school).  I have been generously given (back) $300 to meet our needs.  I
figure that's good for about 20 - 25 books from a jobber.

    Here's where I need your help. If you are an elementary library media
person, would you please take a few minutes to list the top 10 most
popular new books (published within the last 2 years) in your
collection.  If you can, a separate list for primary and intermediate
would be great (fiction and nonfiction can be mixed).  I could go by the
reviews I've been collecting, but I'd really like to go by the popular
vote, rather than the electoral college....

     Thanks again for your help. The LM_NET is the best!
