Looking for picture books


It's that time of the year when vendors call and I get to order books. Not much money and I have to stretch it as far as I can.

I am looking for picture books and fiction, plus books about nutrition that are good for primary readers.

I am planning a first unit of research for grades 2-5 to be about nutrition. Needing a topic for study so students learn how to use resources in the media. Within the first five weeks we need to practice research, using graphic organizers and presentations; which format? slide shows, movies, skits or jokes, puppets who knows? 4th and 5th grade will have web links to locate and use but 2nd and 3rd will use print media for the first round. Hope I can find enough! Magazines and news articles would be great for extending the resources.
