[LM_NET] TARGET: Descriptive Language

[Diana Luce <dluce@BBCS.K12.NY.US>]

I am looking for a picture book that shows students how to write using descriptive 
language.  I have a 10th-grade English teacher who would like to use this book with 
her class to highlight how using a variety of words can make a story "pop".  She 
wants anything that shows students how using different adjectives and adverbs can 
make stories better. Do you know of any children's books that might work in this 
context? 

I am a high school librarian who knows nothing about picture books!  Thanks for 
your help!
