GEN: Books I've had fun with this year

[Gayle Hodur <ghodur@REDSHIFT.COM>]

I know we do a lot of favorites lists, but here's the beginning of one
more. Sometimes there's a book or two that just made lessons go brilliantly
for you this year and that really put a spring in your step about sharing
it with kids in some way. It might be a book you read to them, a book you
got lesson ideas from, or one you used as a basis for "telling." Here are
some of my bookstore "finds" this year that were great fun to use. I'd love
to hear about yours!

With a Whoop and a Holler - Nancy Van Laan (folktales from the American South)
Sky Pilot - (a photo-bio about Amelia Earhart)
The Story Vine - Anne Pellowski (folktales from around the world)
Anastasia's Album - (photo-bio of the real Anastasia)
On Board the Titanic (of course!)
And None of it was Nonsense - Betty Rosen (storytelling guide that has me
jazzed for next year)
