I went through my catalog in search of "Monster" Everybody books. I copied the cover image into a table in a Word document, added the title and call number
Then I glued them into a file folder, added a cover to the front and laminated them.
Volia! Problem solved. The kids go to the bucket that I keep them in (I made about 10 different folders on popular topics... cats, dogs, princesses, sports, horses, different holidays, dinosaurs, etc.) and choose the folder they want to look at. They look at the covers and decide which book they want and then they can show me which one they wan,t or better yet, when they get to 1st and 2nd grade and we have talked about how the Everybody section is organized, they can go find the book themselves. The only problem is that sometimes the book is not there (because this is the new go-to list), but at least then there are plenty more to choose from.
What shortcuts have you found to help kids find books?
