Subject: Pro Wrestling Titles
Hi all,
Do any of you have any good/popular pro wrestling titles for kids in
grades 5-8? The wrestling stars (stone cold etc.) are very popular with
our kids, but I haven't seen any titles to buy. Any suggestions would
be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
lesley

Hi all!
I have need of the collected wisdom to be found on this listserv. I have
received a call for help from a school librarian in a small neighboring
town. She would like to know if anyone has received complaints about a
book titled "The Lemming Condition" by Alan Arkin. It was originally
published in 1976 by Harper. Our sources for reviews do not go back far
enough. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Please contact me
directly at sakowski@grayson.edu. Thanks

Subject: Hello. My name is Thom Gillespie. I write the Computer Media column
for the Library Journal.
I just received the Happy and Max series of picture books from Jamsa
Press. They are book/cd combinations. I have my own opinion of the writing
and illustration but I would like to get the opinion of folks who know
children's picture book literature of this series.
If folks want to send me their opinion I can compile the responses along
with my opinion which will be informed by others obviously and post it
back to the group.
Thanks, Thom

Hi!
Here's a stumper from a patron who remembers this chapter book from the
early seventies. A boy forgets how to laugh. He meets many sorrowful
people and ends up in a sea of tears. We have checked the usual sources
without any luck.
Thanks for your help.

Subject: Anyone from Hawaii?
A patron requested some information on how to make traditional Hawaiian masks
for a camp that is going to have a Hawaiian theme here in Montana. She said she
searched the Internet and could only find Tiki masks for sale. She is not even
sure
if that is the right thing to be looking for. Are there patterns of designs? Are
there
stories behind designs? Can they be made easily by children?(The kids will be
11-
14, I think) And in the light of cultural heritages is this a craft idea that
can/should
be done? If anyone could help out we would really appreciate it. Please
reply directly to me.

Subject: Stumper: Golden Bear
I have a patron looking for a book he read in the mid 70's. It's science
fiction, about a boy who discovers he can communicate telepathically with
his dog and other animals. Then his dog is killed by a bear, and the boy
tries to kill the bear with poison, only to learn that the bear is somehow
important, and the boy must try to save him.
The patron remembers the title as being The Golden Bear, but the
only thing I've found under that title is a picture book by Young that is
definitely not it. Please reply directly to me.
TIA
Jackie
