Dear pubyac members,
My name is Mae Beth Irvin. I received my MLS from the University
of Pittsburgh. I am taking a Continuing Education class on programming
web pages. For my class I would like to do a page on children's book
trivia or commonly asked questions about children's books. If anyone
can send me some questions they have a lot of children asking about I
would deeply appreciate it.
I also need to ask a question about using pubyac as a source for
a website.On May 29,1997 in digest 1018 there was a subject called
trivia questions. There are several questions and answers I would like
to use for the web site. As long as I say that some of the questions
and answers came from pubyac, is there any problem using the questions
and answers from pubyac in my web site?
Thank you for your help. I will post the children's book trivia
and commonly asked questions on the listserve and post the web address
when it is completed for the class.
Thank you for your help.

Subject: Stumper
Pubyacers,
I have another stumper for you -- I am trying to locate the title and
author of a juvenile / young adult book I read back in high school.
(1984-1987 ) All I can remember is that it was set during WWII, in
Nazi-occupied France. The main character was a young man, an American I
believe, who joined up with the French Resistance fighters and took the
code name "Falcon".
I have tried several sources, but have had no luck with it at all. Can
anyone help me?
Tracy Day,

What about making dragonflies using the old, non-pinchy type clothes pins
and silvery-shimmery paper cut as wings. Pipe cleaners for antennae?

Subject: dragonfly program
Hello, Everyone,
I'm looking for ideas to flesh out a program about dragonflies for
children ages 6 to 10. I'm going to use the book "Dragonfly's Tale" by
Kristina Rodanas (Clarion Books, c1991). Has anyone made a dragonfly craft
with children or played a dragonfly game (I don't know what that would
be?!?!?) Are there other stories you would recommend? Please respond to
me at paulal@alpha1.rpls.lib.il.us. Thanks very much.

Subject: Pennsylvania Dutch
Has anyone ever done a program introducing the Pennsylvania Dutch
through literature? I am considering doing a family program and have
looked at the following books:
A Day in the Life of the Amish
An Amish Family
Down Buttermilk Lane
The Egg Tree
The Folks in the Valley
Just Plain Fancy
Yonie Wondernose
Does anyone have any other suggestions or ideas from a program that they
have done?? We also have lots of Amish quilt pattern books that I will
display. There is also a book that has all kinds of ideas from Libraries
Unlimited I think, that I've used to get some folklore. (Can't recall
the title)
There is also an publisher link that has children's books at:
http://www.mennolink.org/books/children.html
but our library doesn't own many. Any suggestions?

We are starting a circulating CD collection this fall, and are looking at
purchasing a core collection of 25 for families and children. Do you have
any your library has found to be essential, or very popular? Any responses
to me directly will be greatly appreciated! I'll compile a list for everyone.

Kim had asked for suggestions for a name for a 1st to 3rd grade
"story time" that didn't have a childish connotation. I think "
story

hear some other ideas also.

Subject: Re: hello/goodbye songs
Hi!
I don't have a closing ritual, but I do have an opening one. When the
program begins, we all sing a song together (usually "Mr. Sun", which
you can find on the Raffi album, "Singable Songs for the Very Young".)
Then we sit down, and I tell the children that people who come to this
storytime need to bring three things along:
1) Their listening ears,
2) Their lip zippers,
3) And their looking eyes.
"You turn your listening ears on so you can hear the stories; you put
your lip zippers on so that everybody else can hear the stories; and you
have your looking eyes looking up front so that you don't miss any of the
pictures that go with the stories!"
I usually accompany each of the three things with gestures--with the
listening ears, I "turn on" my ear by making a twisting motion next to
it.
Then I draw my finger across my lips for the lip zippers, and I circle my
eyes with my fingers for the looking eyes.
I find this helpful, since later in the program I can say, "LaToya, please
don't forget your lip zippers!" to a small whisperer and she will usually
giggle and quiet down.
Probably this is more detail than you would ever want or need!
Hope it's helpful.

Bonita, Favorite Bulletin Boards From Classroom Beautiful is not listed in
Books in Print for some reason. It has to be ordered directly from The
Education Center which does
The Mailbox magazine. But if you look at this site: www.amazon.com and
type in the subject "bulletin boards", you will find several titles
and
ISBN's listed. Barnes & Noble bookstore would be helpful, also. Hope this
helps! Good luck. Sandy

Just heard our resident tomten warbling , almost too softly to hear
,"Oh give me a home where the book lovers roam, where there's reading
all over the house;books read quiet or out loud, to a sizeable crowd;
pets and people, and even a louse...Homes, homes full of books, read in
beds and soft chairs and in nooks, books to learn wrong from right,
entertain or excite, full of heroes and dragons and crooks..." Where
does he get these things?

Subject: Tie Dying
Hello all!
A couple of weeks ago, someone credited me for passing on valuable
tie dye info. Well, at that point we had not held our program yet
and I was simply passing on the advice received from others of you on
the listserv. Well...our program was today and it was a great
success. We had about 60 kids here to participate in the tie dying,
which thanks to wonderful weather was held outside. For those of you
who may be interested, I'll pass on some of the details. Otherwise,
feel free to delete.
As I mentioned, we were able to hold the activity outside, which was
a great relief for us. We set up three tables--one with rubber
bands, idea cards, plastic gloves, markers, etc. and two with the
dyes in 6 & 12 oz. squirt bottles. At the end of the tables we had
plastic bags to carry shirts home and washing instructions (very,
very important!!)
We used the tie dye kits from Dharma Trading Co. and were thrilled
with how easy they were to mix and use. The colors were the most
vibrant I've seen. They are also very generous with the amount of
supplies they send in the kits--we have a lot of everything left. So
much, we're planning on holding a staff tie dye party next week to
use up the extra dye. The kits include everything you need for the
project except paper towel, buckets, and plastic bags. Everything
can be done with cold water and the dyes can be mixed ahead of time.
It was a raging success and I can't wait to see the kids come into
the library with their shirts on. If anyone would like more info
about the program or Dharma Trading, let me know.
