[LM_NET] ELEM: Book questions

[Elizabeth Kyser <kyserfamily@GMAIL.COM>]

HI,
I have a mini-dilemna that I know will occur again and again.  I would love
input.  That is what makes LM NET so valuable to me!

I worked summer school in the library at the school where I will be
librarian this fall.  Many times a teacher would come in and say" I need a
picture book on________ to read to my class and EVERY TIME I would draw a
total blank!  I have taught for 15 years and know children's books well. I
also just finished a children's lit class.  Every time, the teacher would
stand there while I racked my brain.  I want to be able to say, "YES! Here
is _____________ and ______________."  I hope this will come in time.  I
just get nervous! :)

Is there a resource that lists books by subject? i.e. colors, animals,
shapes, etc... that librarian consult?  I have heard of Linda's Links to
Literature as a good resource. Do they print lists by subject?
Thanks for all your help!
