Subject: Pouchy Pelican Stumper
A patron is looking for a book he read as a child. He thinks the title
is Pouchy Pelican or something like that. What he remembers is that
this pelican was going off to see the king for some reason (sounded
confrontive) and along the way he runs to into other objects that for
some reason go with him (in his pouch!). Any clues as to what this
title might be, would be appreciated. TIA Bonnie Janssen

Subject: RE: Textbook for children's lit class
I just finished a children's literature class and the text book we used
was "Through the Eyes of a Child": An Introduction to Children's
Literature
by Donna E. Norton. It cost me $60.00. Might be a little on the
higher side, but very well worth it, it has a CD-ROM included that
helps you with a list of all the books that are recommened in the book,
and helps you get to know the genere(oops!).
Hope this helps!

Rosemary-
The standard text is "Children's Literature in the Elementary
Classroom" by Charlotte Huck. It's $50, which is pretty standard for a
textbook, although not exactly "reasonably priced."

Can anyone recommend a good, reasonably priced text book for a introduction
to children's literature class?

Subject: Animal Ark
Good Morning Collective Brain -
I had a patron looking for information regarding a series (new?) called
Animal Ark. She had one title, Kittens in the Kitchen, by Lucy Daniels
(1998 Chivers Press). I was able to track down a record for a large
print copy of this title in our system. However, any attempt to find
info on the series (other titles, etc.) has come up short. Does anyone
know anything? Is this the next "big" thing? Please let me know what
you know.
Thanks in advance,

Subject: New mysteries?
I was looking at my new book shelf and noticed that I had not
purchased any new mysteries in a while. I have lots of great new
books mostly suggestions from PUBYAC and various list suggestion
compilations but few are mysteries.
Have I just missed them? Can anyone suggest some new ones that I may
have missed. Thank you.

Subject: goldfish stumper
Here's a stumper from a woman who fondly remembers this book from 25 years ago
(of course!). A little boy has a goldfish that he feeds
too much and too often. The goldfish grows and grows until he has
to take it out of the bowl and put it in a swimming pool. He calls a fish doctor
who arrives with snorkel and fins, dives into the swimming pool and comes back
up with the goldfish in a bowl.
Sound familiar? We've checked A to Zoo and nothing sounded familiar to the
patron. Hope y'all can help.

The 20th-Century Children's Book Treasury : Picture Books and Stories to
Read Aloud
by Janet Schulman is a new release, which I find intriguing. Here is the
Amazon review of it...Believe it or not, 44 complete read-aloud classics and
future classics--from Goodnight Moon to Stellaluna--are packed in this
remarkably svelte, positively historic anthology. Flipping through the 308
pages of The 20th-Century Children's Book Treasury is like browsing a photo
album of beloved friends and family. The familiar faces of Curious George
and Ferdinand the Bull peer earnestly from the pages, and scenes from
Madeline and Millions of Cats resonate as if you just experienced them
yesterday. Think of the advantages of carrying this book on a vacation
instead of a suitcase of single titles! (Your kids can always revisit their
dog-eared hardcovers when they get home.)
This impressive collection of concept books, wordless books, picture books,
and read-aloud stories was artfully compiled by longtime children's book
editor and publisher Janet Schulman. Stories are coded red, blue, and green
to designate age groupings from baby/toddler bo! oks such as Whose Mouse Are
You?, through preschool books such as Where the Wild Things Are, to longer
stories for ages 5 and older such as Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible,
No Good, Very Bad Day. The reason the book isn't bigger than Babar is
because many of the illustrations from each story were reduced or removed to
fit the anthology's format. (Leo Lionni's Swimmy, for example, takes up 5
pages total, compared to its original 29 pages.) Brief biographical notes
that are surprisingly quirky shine a little light on the 62 authors and
illustrators, and an index helps, too, for the child who likes one story
best. We love the idea of being within easy reach of a Star-Belly Sneetch, a
William Steig donkey, and a Sendak monster at all times, and we're sure your
little bookworms will, too. (All ages) --Karin Snelson
