[LM_NET] HIT: wordless books

[Chantal Bennett <bennett2144@SHAW.CA>]

Hello,


Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to share their  
favorite tittles.  My list is now impressively long!
Here is my original post;
For Grade 2 and 3, I have been using wordless books such as David  
Wiesner's wonderful "Flotsam" and "Free Fall" to teach students how  
to infer.
Several students have asked me if they could borrow other wordless  
books.  I would really appreciate if you could share some favorite  
titles so that I can add them to my too small collection.
