Re: [LM_NET] wondering (Fiction titles with curriculum connections)

[Toni Buzzeo <tonibuzzeo@TONIBUZZEO.COM>]

Sherry was wondering about whether others have an equally hard time 
locating fiction books to tie-in with curriculum topics.  Her current 
dilemma is colors and shapes for the little ones.

As a children's author myself, I'm always interested in what we librarians 
need and aren't finding in the area of curriculum connections.  I think it 
would be an interesting once-a-month posting to the list.

The trick, of course, for authors is coming up with a wonderful STORY that 
involves the curriculum topics.  So far, my five books have tons of 
connections in Science and Social Studies (and for The Sea Chest, some in 
math).

I always love hearing what is hard to find in case it should inspire me in 
some way!

Best,
Toni
