This tiny elf can be very helpful to librarians! There are two books from Upstart Publications, The Shelf Elf and The Shelf Elf Helps Out by Jackie Mims Hopkins and Rebecca Thornburgh. The first book is great for an introduction to the library, great to use at the beginning of the year. The second book gives help to librarians when teaching the Dewey Decimal System to younger students. There are cute poems to go with each section of the library. One page even allows students to find what is wrong with the shelf. The copies I got included lesson plans. How awesome is that?!

Hi Susan! Thanks for the nice comments about the Shelf Elf books! I'm working on sketches for a new Shelf Elf project right now -- a slipcase of three books about the dictionary, the encyclopedia, and the the thesaurus. I think they're scheduled for publication in spring of '08.
Love your blog, too! (I have knitting envy...) best, rebecca
