HIT, ELEM> Grade 2 books on uniqueness

[Suzanne Weinheimer <suzanne@WHATEXIT.COM>]

Sorry for the lateness on this hit. It was sitting in my out box, but in
"edit" format, not in the outgoing queue!

Original message:

>School nurse just came to me looking for a book (appropriate for Grade
>2) to go along with her unit on uniqueness. She explained that the
>students will be completing a work sheet about their likes and dislikes
>and that it is okay to be different (i.e. it's okay that Jennie likes
>pizza, while Will prefers fried chicken).  My brain is still in vacation
>mode.
>
> I don't have _A to Zoo_ in my library. I have checked the archives and
>www.alltogethernow.org for a past HIT, but couldn't find anything. I
>thought it may be included in the VALUES hits from a few years back, but
>no luck.
-----HIT-----
Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions. Several people suggested I
search under "self-esteem" , and "individuality" as alternate keywords.

While checking in books today, I came across UNICEF's _Children just like
me_. Although this is non fiction, it may be useful.

 Titles suggested by LMNEtters are as follows:


Aliki. Feelings.
Caple. The Biggest Nose
dePaola, Tomie. Oliver Button is a Sissy.
Henkes, Kevin. Chrysanthemum
Hoffman, Mary. Amazing Grace.
Knowles, Sheena. Edward the Emu
Lester, Helen. Tacky the Penguin (suggested 4 times)
Richardson, Jean. The Bear who went to the Ballet
Shannon, David. A Bad Case of Stripes (suggested 3 times)
Spier, Peter. People.
Waber, Bernard. You Look Ridiculous, Said the Rhinoceros to the
Hippopotamus
Wells, Rosemary. Yoko.
Winch, Gordon. Samantha Seagull's Sandals
