LM_NET: Library Media Networking
This is Part 7/9 of the list of suggested picture books for my high
school library. Thanks to all who contributed.
What about Language Arts teachers to teach writing and all of the other
core subjects? Picture books are a great resource for your teachers.
There are two great resources: Picture books for Secondary Students;

Middle and secondary Classrooms

I have a small picture book collection that was scattered throughout the
library. I put them all in one spot and labeled them E. I, too, want
to make this collection bigger. DEFINITELY buy Ed Yang's Lon Po Po and
all of the Caldecott's. Ferdinand, stories by Ezra Jack Keats, and the
David books (No David! - all by David Shannon . (I think that is
his name) are musts as well.

I was inspired to recall and write down some of my favorite books. I
pulled these titles from lists that I compiled as suggested summer
reading. I have been a children's librarian in a public library for
many years, as well as an elementary school librarian. I know that
these books are ones kids love too.
