Ian Falconer created Olivia the pig...by far one of my most favorite of picture books of the past couple years. Inbedded in his first book,aptly titled *Olivia*, are allusions and illustrations to great artists, architeciture and other craftily placed icons. I will be using this as one of my mentors texts as we explore the genre of picture books in my classroom. I also love anything by Patricia Polacco such as the incredible *Pink and Say*. What are some of your favorites both old and new, and how do you use them with your students? -- Tena _______________________________________________ The Literacy Workshop ListServ http://www.literacyworkshop.org
