HIT-> Best/Current Book Titles

[Hollis Elementary School Library <librahes@MV.MV.COM>]

Thanks for all the great book titles to include in my breakfast workshop
for teachers during Children's Book Week.  The workshop was a big hit
with all teachers asking for another one in January!  Here is a list of
the book titles I booktalked.  Celebrating Diversity in Children's Books
was the focus.  It just came together after pouring over many books and
with all your suggestions.
Hoberman.  My Song Is Beautiful: Poems and Pictures in Many Voices
Cannon.  Stellaluna
Bruchau.  The Great Ball Game: A Muskogee Story
Gilman.  Someting From Nothing
Nye.  Sitti's Secrets
Ada.  Dear Peter Rabbit
Polacco.  Pink and Say (If you read just one book, read this one.)
Polacco.  Firetalking  (autobiography)
Robinson.  The Best School Year Ever
Bunting, Eve.  Featured December author - Her birthday is Dec. 19th.
Smoky Night; Sunshine Home, and others
Jackson.  The Winter Solstice
Emberley.  Welcome Back, Sun
Rogasky.  Winter Poems
McKissack.  Christmas in the Big House, Christmas in the Quarters

I did not include Jan Brett's books because our teachers use them so much
already. LM_NET is a wonderful resource
