Writing for Many Purposes

Speaking of Writer's Workshop, and Writing for Many Purposes, does anybody have any suggestions for mentor texts?  My colleagues are using:
Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type
amazon.com
The Jolly Postman
amazon.com
Dear Mrs. La Rue: Letters From Obedience School
amazon.com

I've tried looking online (through regular searches and, my newest search, blogs!), but there's not a  list of mentor texts for this unit...

  1. In my writing mini-lessons, I use a lot of the books from Scholastic Grammar Tales. The students love reading them, and they come with activities for students to practice the skills. One book from the set that I always use is "The Mystery of the Missing Socks." It teaches students the importance of using quotation marks when they write with dialogue. There might be some books from this collection that would help with your unit!
