[LM_NET] HIT: ELEM: BOOKS: Picture books about research

[Toni Buzzeo <tonibuzzeo@TONIBUZZEO.COM>]

ORIGINAL TARGET: I'm working on a Web page for my new book, R IS FOR 
RESEARCH.  If you've visited my site, you know that for each book, I 
always include a link to a page with a bibliography of books about 
the subject(s) of the book.  Well, this time, the subject is kids' 
researching.  I'm finding it a challenge to think of other titles 
that are about kids doing research in the library.  Am I just addle 
brained?  Are there others I should know?

RESPONSES:
I just had to add two easy chapter books to your list. I have been 
blogging about one of them on SLJ and will soon write up the other.
The Sherlock Files #1 The 100-Year Old Secret by Tracy Barrett
a brand new one I just finished by James Cross Giblin Did Fleming 
Rescue Churchill?

***
Not totally about research, but one of my favorites shows the 
librarians helping with research. The boy who was raised by 
librarians / written by Carla Morris ; illustrated by Brad Sneed.

An OK book == Mr. Wiggle looks for answers / by Carol Thompson ; 
illustrated by Bobbie Houser.

In Wolves / Emily Grrrabbit i.e. Gravett, a young rabbit does 
research on wolves to find out how to deal with one.  Not a lot of 
library scenes.  The rabbit checks out the book and reads it.
