[PW] Children's books with ESL vocabulary content

[Hatch, Patricia]

Patty Hatch
Hello all,

I attended a presentation here this morning that featured a staff member
here who is tutoring an adult ESL student who is trying to build her
vocabulary skills.  This student is also a staff member at Harvard, but
she has multiple jobs and does not have a lot of time for leisure
reading to help build her English vocabulary.  

The only reading time she has is when she is reading to her children at
bedtime.  Her tutor is trying to find books for children that would
include some content that would help the adult student.  

The student is primarily focusing on "Business English", which in this
case means that she is good at working with numbers in Excel
spreadsheets but needs assistance in English writing, including emails
and memorandums.

Any ideas of titles that would be helpful to this student?  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
