[Toni Buzzeo <tonibuzzeo@TONIBUZZEO.COM>]

The Scrambled States of America by Laurie Keller
The Wall by Eve Bunting
Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney
Pink and Say by Patricia Polacco
Thank You, Mr. Falker by Patricia Polacco
The Wretched Stone by Chris Van Allsburg
The Mysteries of Harris Burdick by Chris Van Allsburg
Weslandia by Paul Fleischman
Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters by John Steptoe
The Lotus Seed by Sherry Garland
Grandfather's Journey by Allen Say
The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry
The Lorax by Dr. Seuss

***
Almost anything by Patricia Polacco, but most notably:

Thank You, Mr. Falker
Christmas Tapestry
Mr. Lincoln's Way
Pink and Say
The Keeping Quilt
***
Detective LaRue by Teague- Good for friendly letter writing
         Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
         Polar Express
***
The favorite, hands down, with the 4th and 5th grade teachers is
Patricia Polacco.
***

My teachers would easily find Patricia Polacco books useful in teaching 
writing traits.  They also seem to like Mem Fox, Cynthia Rylant,  David 
Weisne,and Chris VanAlsburg.  Don't want to forget Jan Brett and Eve 
Bunting....hope this helps
