[LM_NET] Target: Kindergarten lesson plan for picking a just right book

["Cushing, Denise" <DENISE_CUSHING@DPSK12.ORG>]

Good morning,

I'm looking for lesson plans for picking a "just right book" for kindergartners and 
first grade. Thinking of buying the "We're Going on a Book Hunt" title. Anyone used 
this? Also, a teacher once told me about a librarian who used shoes as an analogy 
for picking a good book. She had students try on different shoes until they found 
the just right shoe. Does anyone know of this lesson? 

Also, I really want to encourage students to choose picture books this year. I buy 
them every year, and use them for read alouds, but all the kids want are "chapter 
books"... even kinders.

Thanks!
