Posted to CALIBK12 Thank you to everyone who responded to my request for Picture books for High School. I have cut and paste the many list, trying not to duplicate. There are a couple of links that were very helpful too. This is my compiled list. Thanks again! This site ( http://falcon.jmu.edu/~ramseyil/yapictind.htm )

 has links to a couple of great list. Squids will be squids by Jon Scieszka Caldecott books, or Dr. Seuss I would try Leo Lionni, Eric Carle, David Diaz ,Eve Bunting and Chris Van Allsburg. Subject:RE: picture books
