Subject: BIB: thanks for the "manners book" help!
Hello PubYacers!
My sincere thanks are long overdue to the dozens of list members who
responded to my "hard to find manners book" question last month. I was
unable to reach my patron for a while and I wanted to give her the list I
gathered from the various responses before I updated everyone here.
I received a total of eight titles from the numerous responses (obviously,
many titles were suggested by more than one person!) The title that seemed
to ring a bell with my patron was "Manners Can Be Fun" by Munro Leaf,
but
I gave her the entire list so she would have something to show booksellers
as she continues her search for her own copy of "the" book she is
thinking
of . . .
The other seven suggestions were:
Your Manners Are Showing - by Betty Betz
Goops and How to Be Them
More Goops and How to Be Them
Goop Tales
- - by Gelett Burgess
What Do You Say, Dear
What Do You Do, Dear?
- - by Sesyle Joslin
Manners Matter - by Norah Smaridge
Thank you VERY much for coming through for me on this!!

Subject: Re: Mock Caldecott results
I usually try to stay out of the opinion e-mails (not that I don't have
any, just ask the people I work with!), although I do read them all and
learn from them.
However - I have to throw my two cents in on Marth's opinion/question on
No David! And that two cents is that I agree with her - it's okay, the
concept is cute, but overall it's not so wonderful as its' accolades would
lead you to expect. Frankly, I liked A Bad Case of Stripes (also by
Shannon) a great deal more.

Subject: Sequel to Whatever happened to Janie?
Dear Pubyacers,
I had a patron today ask for the sequel to Caroline Cooney's - Whatever
happened to Janie? Has anyone out there heard that a sequel was
written? If so what is the title? I have checked several sources
listing and annotating Cooney's books, but none suggested a sequel.
What happened to Janie is a sequel to Cooney's Face on the Milk Carton.
TIA for any info.

Subject: STUMPER - 1960-vintage mystery
Hi guys, Help! We can't seem to get a handle on this one. Or remember it.
The book was read in the 1960's and it had a yellow cover. A group
of 3 or 4 kids, both boys and girls were working to solve a mystery. They
find clues, one of them was an Indian or an Indian headdress found by
breaking something open. Another clue was a piece of yellowed paper that
gave only part of a clue. Parts of a message had to be filled in to get
the whole clue. The book was not part of a series. The yellow cover had
all sorts of clues on the front. The author remembers reading it in about
4th grade. Any ideas out there? We've exhausted our extensive resources
aand are looking for someone who remembers the book because they loved it
too. Thanx, jeri

Subject: Picture Books-Weddings
Hi!
Some time ago there were postings on this list about picture books
that were about or dealt with weddings and I did not keep the messages.
Does anyone have any suggestions of some books?
My friend is getting married this summer and I just began my search for
picture books.
Thanks!!!!!
