[LM_NET] World Wide Battle of the Books

[Carol Van Brocklin <carolannvan@MOTIMAIL.COM>]

Good morning:
         Don't know if someone can lead me to a source for 
this information, but I told the student I would try.
         We just had our Battle of the Books a few weeks 
ago and now one of the students is doing a write up about 
it for the school newspaper. She wanted to know how many 
countries in the world actually do BOB contests. I can 
find information about it in the U.S., but haven't been 
able to find anything that will tell me about the world 
wide Battles.
         If someone can point me to a cite that would 
possibly tell me, or if you are an overseas librarian who 
has done BOB at your school would you please contact me 
offlist?
        Also--if anyone has suggestions of books that you 
used this year that the kids loved, please send me your 
lists. I need to order them soon for next year's contest. 
I would need books for grade 4-8 and keep in mind we are a 
Christian school.

Thanks!
