[aisle] seeking companion books

Fri Feb 7 12:40:10 CST 2020

I appreciate your input.  Even though I'm not familiar with the first
title, that's probably the better fit of the two.  However, *Good Enough* and
a general book on eating disorders would not work because they're not
specifically meant to support one another.  I had given the teachers the
example of reading *Winnie the Pooh* and *Finding Winnie: The True Story of
the World's Most Important Bear *but that was not what they're looking
for.  Neither is *Harry Potter *and *Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.  *A
new example that does work is *Harry Potter *and* Exploring Hogwarts: An
Illustrated Guide.  *I feel like the examples will be more along the lines
of books found at the book fair, Barnes & Noble, etc. and not necessarily
items we would purchase for a school collection.
