The Legend of the Golden Snail is another beautifully whimsical book by Graeme Base. To me it has a feel of an earlier book written by him “The Sign of the Seahorse” but it still quite different and worth a read.

I have been updating the JSSALCLibrary wiki page! It now contains pages for the PYP and the Teacher Librarian, The Learner Profile and Attitudes and Taking Action.
This will be a resource that will hopefully be of value to teachers and will be contantly added to. Please let me know if you have resources that you would like to add.

It is a simple Web 2.0 tool tobrainstorming and mind map.
