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?!
