Dear Rosan,

One resource that comes to my mind is a picture-based item published by
National Textbook Company, and edited or complied by Rebecca Rauff.
It's comprised of complicated drawings of places -- the inside of a
house, the inside of an airport, etc.  There is a lot going on in these
drawings, and they can be used for vocabulary development, as well as 
grammar.   I think their address is 4255 W. Touhy Ave., Lincolnwood, IL
60646.  However, if you can find one of their catalogs, that would give
you the most accurate information.  Good luck!

Warmly,

Char Ullman
