Subject: Stumper - Hungry Mungry?
A patron asked about a book she had read as a child (probably in the
70s). She thinks it was called HUNGRY MUNGRY. We have checked BIP,
FICTION FOLKLORE FANTASY & POETRY FOR CHILDREN 1876-1985, AMERICAN
JUVENILE COLLECTION (on the Net) and our area library collections with no
luck. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Please respond to me at the
address below. Thanks for your help.

ubject: Help Finding Distributors
I used to get regular mailings from a couple of companies that sold
pre-packaged thematic paperback collections that came with their own
cardboard display cases. The collections were geared for a variety of
reading levels from grade 3 to reluctant ya readers, with themes such as
sports, spine-tinglers, animal stories, etc. Varsity Reading Services and
Reading Resources both called me on a regular basis trying to sell me these
collections.
I am now in a new job, new state. Reading Resources no longer handles
these, and Varsity's toll-free number has been disconnected.
While these are certainly not ideal solutions for libraries with gaps in
their juvenile and young adult collections, the packaged collections do
serve a purpose for some very small libraries with limited staff and minute
budgets. Does anybody know of any other companies that provide these
pre-packaged collections??
TIA for your help!

Subject: African American and/or Hispanic Mother Goose Equivalents
Greetings. This is my first posting to pubyac. I am a children's
librarian in Waterbury, CT, which is a small city by national standards
but the fifth largest in Connecticut.
I do a Reading is Fundamental program with 125 Head Start kids on a
Mother Goose theme. I use a lot of traditional materials interspersed
with rhymes from such books as Mother Goose on the Rio Grande,
Tortillitas para Mama, and Jaha and Jamil Went Down the Hill.
We use some large soft sculptures of a traditional un-scary Mother Goose
and Humpty Dumpty to decorate the children's room when the children come
for a program. I would like to have additional soft sculptures or dolls
around that reflect their backgrounds. I am looking for sources of
African-American and Hispanic Mother Goose-type soft sculptures or
dolls.
Please send any suggestions to jlhamon@snet.net. I will post results.
And thanks in advance.
Judy Lhamon
