Welcome, students and staff from the Harry Potter Knitting and Crochet House Cup, to the library. As librarian, I have prepared 2 partial bibliographies for your use in this term's Librarian's Challenge. All books below can be found on the shelves here in the children's section, which we keep for reference purposes.
The first bibliography is of children's books related to magic, science fiction, fairy tales and fantasy. These are books we use for Muggle Studies in learning how Muggles view the wizarding world and their occasional exposures to it; secondly, of course, many of these are actually wizarding history texts presented for the Very Young. These include:
Natalie Babbitt, The Search for Delicious
Cressida Cowl, How to Train Your Dragon
