It is a great book for inference. The book comes out in October.

Re: [MOSAIC] Classroom Library
I definitely agree with the ideas coming in so far to build your first classroom library. You may also see if your local library system has a used book store, ours is called The Friends of the Library. Many people donate their books there, especially what doesn't sell at a yard sale. There are also sales racks inside of public libraries where you can buy used books and magazines. Another idea is to suggest at the beginning of the year that parents send in a birthday book instead of cupcakes or other treats. The birthday student could read it to the class or have the teacher read it or part of it, then ceremoniously put a donated by label and a picture of the child on the inside cover and place it in a special birthday book basket. I got that idea from a most amazing kindergarten teacher/university elem. ed. instructor -Resi Ditzel. During school book fairs, fill out a wish list. I have my students help me in making the list and they often tell their parents that they'd like to buy the book for the classroom. Again, don't forget the student's picture and donated by label for the inside of the book. Those books along with the new ones that I buy go on the Just Arrived shelf. Since you won't know what grade you'll be teaching you MAY want to focus on picking up highly suggested picture books that you could use to read to little ones as well as use it to teach strategies to older students. The classics and award winning books are other good books to look for as well as those mentioned on this list and in many of the teaching resources also mentioned on this list. Make sure you're a Border's and Barnes Noble member (sign up for the teacher discount card) so that you can use the coupons that come out. Border's just put out a 40% coupon. Have fun building your library!
