Carol,
I think you're right! I was a voracious reader but stopped reading YA
stuff by the time I was in high school. Please post any suggestions you
receive to the list.

Subject: Re: Favorite Newbery Books
If we're going to get into favorites that DIDN'T win, then I must add
Honor books "A Fine White Dust" by Rylant, and "The Blue
Sword" by
McKinley (which I actually enjoyed just a touch more than "The Hero and
the Crown" which was, of course, excellent as well), and "Rascal"
by
North (non-fiction). One that wasn't an
honor or medal book
that knocked my socks off was "The Golden Compass" by Pullman. I
always
thought that should have won something. (Add "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of
Nimh", "Call it Courage" (a true classic), and "Summer of
the Swans" to my
list of favorite Newbery winners. Of course, probably like all of you, I
could keep adding "favorites" until all the Newbery winners are
listed!)

Subject: Favs
Dear Pubbers: I have been elsewhereing so don't know how this topic came
up about favorite Newbys. Well, to join the crowd, my favorite, the book I
absolutely LOVE--LOVE--LOVE which never won a Newby is
E.B. White's "Charlotte's Web."
I LOVE IT.
What?? You mean to say it was a "runner-up" (now called an "Honor
Book") to
something about the Andes--or however one spells them-there mountains in
Peru. ("My Side of the Andes"? Andies? Undies? ) "Goshes, Mister,
I
forget." (With scant thanks to "Dondi".)

One of my favorites to read aloud is The Fantastic Flying Journey. I've usually
read it to 4th grade but it could go over well to 5th-- 6th might be pushing it.
I used a big map of the world as we read. You could get the kids involved by
having them track the groups progress on their own world maps with a hot air
balloon.
AUTHOR Durrell, Gerald Malcolm, 1925-
TITLE The fantastic flying journey / by Gerald Durrell ; illustrated
by Graham Percy.
PUBLISHER Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers, c1987.
DESCRIP 151 p. : col. ill. ; 29 cm.
SUBJECTS 1) Animals -- Fiction.
2) Voyages around the world -- Fiction.

Subject: Re: Winter Puppet Story Idea?
If you go to Jan Brett's web page http://www.janbrett.com you will
find some wonderful masks that can be downloaded from THE MITTEN and
other books that can be used as puppets. They are very colorful; I
printed them out, laminated them...and then mounted them on a
popsicle stick (I put flannel on the back of one of the sets to use
with a flannel board). I can then Iet the students use them as I
read the story.

Subject: Re: Favorite Newbery Books
Walter -- Saw your post about the Newbery page. I know all of us that are
inolved in the process for Newbery and/or Caldecott always get questions about
how the committee works, how to get on the committee, etc. A few years ago, I
did an article for _Wilson Library Bulletin_ titled "Life on the Caldecott
Committee." ALSC got permission to put in the annual NC book. Maybe, if you
are interested, they can get permission for you to mount it on the Caldecott
web page. Just a thought!
