[CASL-L] genrefying the elementary school library

[Valerie DiLorenzo]

Another question:

Working on genrefying Upper School Fiction at the moment at my school;
HOWEVER, When we get to Lower School, I'm wondering if anyone has a good
title for "meatier" picture books; those that have heavier topics, are much
longer, and lend themselves beautifully to important class discussions.
Picture books that might be in this section are ones written by Patricia
Polacco, Alan Say, etc.
