[LM_NET] HIT: character description books

[Chris Thomas <Chris_Thomas@CDS.ED.CR>]

Dear Helpful Librarians,

The teacher that asked me for these books was quite impressed and thankful for the 
suggestions of the following books to show character description.
Thanks so much for your help Jennifer and Sheila.

If you can get your hands on anything by Patricia Polacco, her characters are 
really well developed and would serve as good examples.
 
I would also recommend books by Allen Say - Granfather's Journey or Tea with Milk.

It's not a picture book, but Roald Dahl's Mahtilda has awesome character 
descriptions - I went to a seminar on teaching writing once and that was one of 
their suggestions.
