You may want to go to the Evalutech Web site where we post the recommendations
of books and other resources that we review for the schools in North Carolina.
The url is www.evalutech.sreb.org.
I used the following fields to construct a search and found over 100 hits:
Subject: multicultural
Format: print
Grade level: PreK-5
You can also use "multicultural" as keyword, but you will have to use some
other keywords and fields to limit the search as my first try resulted in more
than the 300 hit limit.
