I highly recommend Sarah Campbell's picture books, WOLF SNAIL and GROWING PATTERNS. She offers excellent programs which show librarians and teachers how to use digital images the students have taken and brought to class, or taken with the class, which I have seen presented at the Children's Book Festival in Hattiesburg (she'll be there again this year).
Heather Montgomery's books THE CASE OF THE MISSING ARTIC FOX and WILD DISCOVERIES WACKY NEW ANIMALS are fun reads, and she pointed out in her recent book launch for WACKY ANIMALS that children are finding new animals right in their backyards - talk about something fun for kids to do! Heather is a hands on teacher who has worked with outdoor programs offered to schools for years, and I'm sure would have great ideas on her website about integrating her book with class room activities.
Jo Kittinger's ROSA'S BUS approaches the topic of integration from a different point of view, which offers possibilities for discussing the way museums collect and archive and exhibit their collections, and an opportunity for students to share their own collections and the science/history behind them.
