Re: [LM_NET] HIT: bullying titles

[Sherry Martin <smartinlp@YAHOO.COM>]

Just wanted to share a FANTASTIC tool to quickly
locate books according to desired topic (bullying,
selfishness, grandparents, name calling, sibling
rivalry, and anything else you can think of).  The
book is:

A to ZOO
Subject Access to Children's Picture Books
Carolyn W. Lima and John A. Lima

This book will save a lot of time for the busy
librarian.
