Subject: Stumper, girl who flies
Hello everyone,
I have a stumper for your collective memory. The patron remembers
reading a book about 8 years ago about a girl who lives outside of
Waldon and forms a friendship with a goose and learns how to fly. It is
a thin, chapter book. I know that this isn't much to go on, but I'm
having no luck.
Thanks in advance,
Lorraine

Subject: pirate compilation (long)
Hello Everyone!
Thanks a million to all those who sent me suggestions for fingerplays
and stories on the topic of pirates. For anyone interested, here is a
compilation of the responses:
(Maeleah Carlisle,
Children's Librarian, Springfield Library, Springfield, MA)
Books:
One eyed Jake by Pat Hutchins
Tough Boris by Mem Fox
Edward and the Pirates by David mcPhail
Wild Will by Ingrid Schubert
Matthew and the Midnight Pirates by Allen Morgan, ill. by Michael
Martchenko.
Grandma and the Pirates by Pheobe Gilman
Pirates!" by Woychuk,
"Do Pirates Take Baths?" by Tucker
Captain Abdul's Pirate School by Colin McNaughton
"Rabbit Pirates: A Tale of the Spinach Main" by Cox
I wish I had a pirate suit by Pamela Allen
Ballad of the Pirate Queen by Jane Yolen
The great piratical rumbustification by Margaret Mahy
Poem:
Captain Hook poem by Shel Silverstein plus one other poem
Activities:
I also had them make pirate hats, there's a great pattern for one in the
book Welcome to paper hat tricks IV by Patt Newbold.
I also had them sing What do you do with a drunken sailor. This went
over
well with kids, cause it's a great singalong, a few astounded looks from
moms, but even they joined in the singing.
For an activity, I traced and cut
out a treasure-chest shape from brown construction paper and assorted
jewel
shapes from green, blue, red, yellow and purple paper. I am having the
children glue the chest and jewels onto a sheet of paper and then color
the
picture as they wish (add sand, trees, ocean, etc.). If you were very
creative you could create a treasure map and have the children glue the
chest and jewels on that!
For our craft we used old
shoeboxes to make treasure chests.
One of my first story programs was on pirates (back in the mid-80s!).
The highlight was to have the children follow a treasure map that
resembled the Children's Room. The drinking fountain was a waterfall,
the book shelves were canyon walls, etc. We found that X marked
the spot where the treasure turned out to be gold-foil wrapped treats.
We did pirates as our SRP theme in 1998. I did Pirate School as a
special program for kids ages 5-10 (using lots of YA volunteers.)
First, all the kids dressed up as pirates. We had eyepatches, newspaper
hats, and sashes for the kids to tie on, and cardboard swords. We sang
some sea shanties. I read the book "Pirate School", and then we
practiced acting like pirates (yelling "yo ho ho, saying "Aaargh!,
thrusting our swords, etc.) Then I gave them a pirate quiz - a multiple
choice test I made up with obvious answers. Ex: Finish this phrase:
"Yo ho ho and a bottle of--- (root beer, ink, Yoo-Hoo , rum). At the
end of the program, I handed out Pirate School diplomas. We had a lot
of fun!
Hi! We did a Pirate/Seafaring themed SRP many years ago. One of the
things I did for my school visits was recite the following poem and
had the audience join in the refrain each time! It was fun. You can
also sing "There's a Hole in the Bucket..."
"A Sailor's Life for Me!"
Jack dreamed of a life on the salty sea.
"A sailor's life is the life for me!"
Refrain: Yo Ho!
Jib the boom
Poop the deck (the kids love this one!)
Salt the sea
Man the hole
Pepper the mints
A sailor's life for me!
A spyglass, a compass and a cutlass had Jack.
He was ready to sail and never look back!
REFRAIN (with gusto!)
So Jack cast his lot with ole Capt'n McPhee.
As scurvy a sailor as you'll ever see!
With a peg for a leg and a hook for a hand,
McPhee was a man feared at sea and on land!
REFRAIN
They pulled anchor at daybreak and headed to sea,
Jack and his shipmates and Capt'n McPhee.
But they hadn't gone far, the sails barely unfurl'd
When Jack slipped from the riggin' and o'erboard he was hurled!
REFRAIN
Jack soared thru the air with an echoing scream.
Then sank like a stone in the cold, murky sea.
He bobbed to the surface, gasping for air,
Expecting a rescue, but McPhee wasn't there!
REFRAIN
As fortune would have it, Jack knew how to swim.
So he headed for shore and the tide helped him in.
Tired and bedraggled he sprawled on the sand,
And thanked the good Lord for makin' the land!
REFRAIN (optional here)
You have to recite (or read) this with a "scurvy seadog" attitude to
make it really effective. An eyepatch helps, too! You can write the
refrain on slips of paper for the parents and readers in the group. I
used this as a "story", as I like to use story poems whenever I can!
If
you want to read it, you can print it out and paste it to the back of a
card with a pirate picture on it, so the audience looks at the picture
as
you read the poem...is just nicer than looking at the back of a piece of
blank paper!

Big thanks to Jenny Wegener and Martha Simpson who knew that the story of
the beautiful plant that grew from a rolling pea was a story by H.C.
Andersen. Although my patron's description of the story was quite
different from the actual story, I think it really is Andersen's tale

Subject: Re: stumper--several
I have been stump more often than normal this week. Here are several
questions I could use some help with.....
A picture book where the main character (maybe a moose, maybe not)
receives a package with parts to assemble. Several of his friends help
him, and then create several different objects..a car, a boat...In the end
they read the instructions and assemble the pieces correctly.
An allegory or parable about the holocust about animals that live in the
forest. First they come and take the squirrels, then some other animals
until only the rabbit is left...then they come for him. "They" is a
bid
black shadow.
Patron read this book 15 years ago or so.....boy is attacked by the
"Doldrums", which represents a "blue mood". At one point in
the story he
is given the task of moving a pile of sand with a pair of tweezers, he has
to empty a well with an eye dropper, stuff like that. He is in this
unrealistic world with a girl and maybe a grown up. They are losing hope,
but the boy somehow thinks their way home.
Childrens story which follows the capture of a male ring-necked pheasnat
in China to his release in Oregon. Something like the Lord of the Bush or
maybe the LOrd of the Warlord....
Mexican folktale aobut a humming bird riding on the back of a seagull.
Story about a family of three who are waiting for a baby to come, but the
baby doesn't want to come out. Each family memeber in turns tries to get
the baby to come out. iN the end it is the brother who gets him to come
out. This book was read by patron 18 years ago.
Thanks so much for any help in tracking these down....

Subject: Literature related activities - help
Oh, Great Collective Brain -
One of our best patrons called last evening and is in need of some
help. She has been roped into leading a book discussion on Norton's
Borrowers for the fourth graders and their parents at her child's
school. Things were fine until the coordinator asked (insisted) that a
game/skit/other activities be part of the hour (yes, just one hour). On
top of that, it was just revealed that it was advertised to the parents
as a family event - so, of course, kids as young as 6 are registered to
be at the event.
My patron has been researching the book and has been unable to find
anything (including on the Web) for discussing Norton's book not to
mention any related activities. I must confess, I haven't read the book
(yet) and so I'm of little help. Can anyone provide us with some
ideas? Time is of the essence.
I thank you and thank you again,
