Books Kids Will Sit Still For 3 (Libraries Unlimited, 2006, if I ever finish
all the proofreading!)
Here's the hit. I've included people's names, since some wrote their own
annotations. Thanks so much to those who came up with treasures.

Picture Books: An Annotated Bibliography with Activities for Teaching
Writing by Ruth Culham for Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory, 101
SW main Street, Suite 500, Portland, Oregon 97204. This was something I
used a lot as a teacher. They may have a more recent version as mine is
1998.

> "ZAPP! In Education" is a GREAT allegory about leadership,
> team-building, and how organizations work. It's about a guy who builds a
> 'machine' that takes him and others to the 12th dimension where real
> feelings and attitudes are displayed as fire-breathing dragons and
> knights with swords. Each chapter ends with a SHORT list of critical
> do's-don'ts. I believe this is one of the best books on the topic of all
