Subject: becoming a nation
Hi all,
I have a patron who would like to purchase a copy of the report
"Becoming a Nation of Readers" put out in 1984/85. It was put out by
the
National Academy of Education Commission on Reading. Does anyone have an
idea of where she could call to purchase such a report? I tried looking
on the internet without much success. She is afraid to write to the
address in the copy she checked out from the library because she is afraid
that office no longer exists. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Subject: Stumper: Knickerbocker glories
My daughter and I recently read two 1998 British kids novels, The Secret
of Platform 13 and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. In both
books, the fat spoiled kid asks for a special dessert called a
knickerbocker glory. My daughter is curious about what exactly that is
(our guess is a super-fancy ice cream sundae.) Does anyone out there
know for sure? Please reply directly to me.
By the way, we loved both books!

Subject: stumper: alien waystation?
Hello, all! I am writing to request help finding a title.
The patron remembers this book was in the high school library
in the early 1970s, so it is at least that old. The plot concerns
a Civil War soldier who returns to his farm and is
approached to turn his home into an alien waystation. The
aliens seal the building so that he will not age as long
as he is inside, but every day he allows himself a one-
hour walk around the perimeter of his property, and during
that time he ages an hour.
Unfortunately, this is all the patron remembers.
Does anybody remember this title? Please reply directly
to me at welchly@oplin.lib.oh.us
Thank you!

Hello, everyone --
If anyone is familiar with a poem called "When I Failed My Geography
Test," please call or e-mail with any details you may know. One of our
patrons is looking for it.
Patron thinks it *may* be by Silverstein. We have checked most of his,
as well as most Prelutsky. We've done some keyword searching in our
computer catalog and on the internet. We've checked Graingers as well
as Index to Poetry for Children and Young People. No luck.
I'm hoping someone's wonderful memory will come to the rescue.

Mary's mother is believed dead, but is found to be alive through a Lourdes

Greetings:
Being a county music fan, I was channel surfing one night and
ended up watching a show I now think is called Country Music Tonight (host
is Gary Chapman; the show was once called Nashville Tonight, hosted by
Ralph Emery). On the show that evening were 4 old-time country singers:
Bobby Bare, Waylon Jennings, Mel Tillis & Jerry Reed. They had just
recorded a CD called Old Dogs. Bobby Bare said he & Shel Silverstein were
good friends (he pronounced it Silversteen) and that Shel had written 21
songs for the group. Apparently, the Bobby had been lamenting how nothing
is written now days for older people/singers, so Shel wrote some.
Being familiar with his poetry for youth, I could definitely see &
hear him in these songs.

JASIS
(vol. 50, no 1), the Journal of the American Society for Information
Science, featuring a special section on youth has seen the light of day.

General Refereed Journals" which will be on Monday, June 28 from 9-11.
Editors will include Don Kraft, the editor of JASIS, John Richardson,

Subject: Re: Stumper: Shel Silverstein
Peggy,
Shel Silverstein is indeed American, born in Chicago, as Lisa Loftin
recently posted. However, I'm confused (or perhaps it's you who is
confused) about the pronounciation of one's name indicating a country of
origin, nationality, religious or cultural heritage. As a non-religious
jew of Heinz 57 Eastern European heritage, and one who knows plenty of
German Jews of various religiosity, I'm just intrigued by your question
of name pronounciation. My last name is Friedmann, pronounced
"FREED-men", as the second vowel in the "e-i" or
"i-e" phonetic
combination is ususually pronounced. Just curious. . .

guess, from looking at his picture in Something About the Author (and he
uses the same photo every place I've seen it) is that he is a Heinz 57
type American. Does anyone know whether the name is pronounced
Silverstine or silversteen? I seem to be hung up on pronunciations
lately! One pronunciation would suggest Jew, the other German.
