Subject: sports books
Another plea for your collective wisdom!
I'm trying to compile a ready-reference list of sports books, as they are
requested often. Can anyone give me some good titles? Baseball,
basketball, and football are esp. popular. I know of Matt Christopher and
Bruce Brooks, but who are some other good sports book authors? books for
all ages will be helpful -- picture books, J Fiction, nonfiction. Books
for kids past Matt Christopher but not quite ready for Chris Crutcher (YA)
would be helpful -- that in-between stage is so hard! thanks so much.
Please post privately to me and I will share the compiled bib with the
list.

Subject: STUMPER
I had a patron ask me about a book today--
it is a chapter book she read in fifth grade--she is in her thrities now--
as she recall, a girl goes to a park, falls asleep, and wakes up in the time
of the cave men--she meets a family--the patron thinks the word October might
be in the title but isn't sure.
Any one recognize this?
Thanks!

Hello,
My patron is looking for a book she read back in the early 70's. She
believes the title is _Turn here for strawberry roam_ by Rhona Meyers or
Rona Meyer. She believes it was about mice or rodents on a journey.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance,
Jennifer

Subject: Stumper: White Wolf
A man called looking for a book that he read in the early 60's. It is not
"White Fang." It was in a "series" (he states there was at
least one
sequel to the first one). It is about a boy who adopts a white wolf. He
thinks that the name "King" or "Silver" is in there
somewhere. Please
respond directly to me if you have an idea what this could be.

Subject: Stumper: dragon shaped kite fingerplay
We're looking for the words to a fingerplay that begins: "'I can go higher
than you,' boasted a dragon-shaped kite." According to our fingerplay index
("Creative Fingerplays & Action Rhymes" by Jeff Defty) the rhyme
appears in
a book called "Fingers in Action" by Mabel McGuire, but we don't have
McGuire's book (and couldn't find it listed in WorldCat). If you know the
rest of the fingerplay or where we can find it, please let me know.
Thanks...

A patron is looking for a book she remembers from her childhood approximately
published in the 1950s. It is a collection of nursery rhymes illustrated with
photographs of cats and dogs in costumes. The photographs may be black and white
or may have been tinted with color. The aspect that she remembers most is that
the cats and dogs were in costume. Any help would be appreciated. Please send
answers directly to me and I will post answer (if found) back to the list.
