Hi all,
My stumper about the little girl angel was answered by several.
Thanks go to Marie Dawson, Barb Sweet, Lu Benke, Jane Whiteside, Cindy
Simpson, and Pat Vasilik.
How the Littlest Cherub Was Late For Christmas by Minton C. Johnston.
The Littlest Angel by Tazewell (also a delightful recording by
Loretta Young and Gregory Peck). It was thought the rather genderless
illustrations maybe allowed a Mom to change the gender in the story to fit
her little girl.
The Little Lost Angel by Janet Field Heath (Rand McNally, 1953. A
little girl angel gives away her wings to a lame boy who becomes a great
leader, her harp to a man who becomes a great poet, her crown to a grouchy
woman who helps the poor.
We'll have to ILL all but the Tazewell. But thanx all for
responding. - jeri

I have a patron looking for a picture book from her childhood (late 60s or
early 70s, but the book may be older).
The plot involves a bird named Egbert who befriends a witch who lives in
a tree. The witch was mean and would tell Egbert to go away. He
transforms her life by always coming back and being friendly to her.

Subject: STUMPER: Uplifting Holocaust fiction
Dear Yaccers,
A teacher has come to me with the following problem: a 4th-grade student of
hers has just read "Behind the Bedroom Wall" by Laura Williams (a
Holocaust
story about a girl in the Hitler youth who must decide whether to report her
parents for hiding Jews). The girl is understandably feeling kind of
overwhelmed about the whole thing, and the teacher is hoping for another
Holocaust story that is a bit more uplifting, to kind of balance the first
book. Any suggestions?
Please reply directly to me. Thanks!

Subject: Thanksgiving Finger Plays
I want to thank everyone who sent me ideas for Thanksgiving finger
plays. I have already used several, and I have two more story times
coming up. Below is a compilation of the ideas I recieved. Thanks
again for your help and support.
Hi Lisa, I found some really cute songs on the record "Thanksgiving
songs that tickle your funny bone" by Ruth Roberts, Gene Piller and
Bill Katz. Here's one of them.
A Turkey Tom and a Turkey Mom (Sung to Polly Wolly Doodle)
Oh! A Turkey Tom and a Turkey Mom go Gobble, gobble,gobble all day!
When the moon goes down and the sun comes 'round
they gobble,gobble, gobble all day!
Arm in arm, on the farm, as they strut their merry way!
Oh A Turkey Tom and a Turkey Mom go gobble, gobble, gobble all day!
There are more verses, if you'd like them let me know.
Five Little Turkeys
Five little turkeys by the barn door, One waddled off, then there were
four.
Four little turkeys out under the tree, One waddled off, then there
were three.
Three little turkeys with nothing to do, One waddled off, then there
were two
Two little turkeys in the noonday sun, One waddled off, then ther was
one.
One little turkey- better run away!
Soon will come Thanksgiving Day. (Jean Warren)
When Thanksgiving Comes
Everyday when we eat our dinner
Our table is so small.
Just room for mother, father, sister Baby and me- that's all.
But when Thanksgiving comes and company, You'd hardly believe your
eyes.
That very self- same table,
Stretches out until it's this size.
Hope this helps some! Shannen
- [ From: Pamela Lee Ashbrook * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] --
Hey Lisa,
I am sending you my all time favorite turkey fingerplay, the kids love
it!
Take your left hand, make a fist, and stick your thumb out(like your
hitchhiking). Then place your right hand palm against your left hand
pinky. Spread out right hand fingers, your left hand thumb is the
turkey's head, your right hand is his tail.
Turkey Gobbler
I am a turkey gobbler (wiggle thumb)
How ya going to treat me? (dance turkey around)
Are you going to eat me? (Talk to turkey head/thumb)
I will run away! (Fling hands apart and hide them behind your back)
I know it doesn't sound like much, but the kids really like it. We do
it faster and faster. There is much giggling and smiling, what could
be better: -) If you have any questions let me know.
Pam
sing to "The Mulberry Bush":
This is the way to Grandma's house, Grandma's house, Grandma's house,
This is the way to Grandma's house, on Thanksgiving day.
This is the way we drive the car...
This is the way we carve the turkey... This is the way we eat the
pie...
This is the way we wash the dishes... This is the way we say
goodbye...
This is the way we drive back home...
sing to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star":
Pick the corn and pick the beans, pick the squash and pick the greens.
It is harvest time you see, come and share a feast with me,
Bring your family out to play, we'll call this Thanksgiving Day.
5 little Pilgrims fish in the morn (hold up right hand)
5 little Indians help them plant corn (hold up left hand) Pilgrims
bring bread, (move right hand closer to center) Indians bring meat;
(move left hand closer to center)
10 new friends sit down to eat. (fold hands together and place in lap)
5 fat turkeys were sitting on a fence. The 1st one said, I'm so
immense.
The 2nd one said, I can gobble at you. The 3rd one said, I can gobble
too.
The 4th one said, I can spread my tail.
The 5th one said, Don't catch it on a nail. A farmer came along and
stopped to say Turkeys look best on Thanksgiving Day.
5 little turkeys by the barn door,
1 waddled off, then there were 4.
4 little turkeys out under the tree, 1 waddled off, then there were 3.
3 little turkeys with nothing to do, 1 waddled off, then there were 2.
2 little turkeys in the noonday sun, 1 waddled off, then there was 1.
1 little turkey--better run away,
Soon will come Thanksgiving Day.
A turkey is a funny bird,
His head goes wobble, wobble,
And he knows just one word,
Gobble, gobble, gobble.
Thanksgiving is TOUGH I think, there's not a lot of good stories to
read out there. You've probably already picked your stories, but I'll
add one: A Turkey For Thanksgiving by Eve Bunting. I've read it
aloud, and it's fun.
Now, on to fingerplays. Here's one I've seen used, but haven't had
the chance to use myself. I suppose it has a tune, but I can't
remember it, and would probably just make one up:
Every turkey can tango
Every turkey can dance
Every turkey can tango
If given half a chance.
Every turkey can CLAP CLAP CLAP.
Every turkey can SNAP SNAP SNAP.
Every turkey can NAP NAP NAP
Every turkey can dance.
I suppose if you're really creative, you can add lyrics and actions in
addition to clapping, snapping and napping (sneaking, peeking,
beaking?)
Mr. Turkey
Mr. Turkey's tail is big and wide (spread fingers) He swings it when
he walks (Swing hands)
His neck is long (stretch)
His chin is red (stroke chin)
And he gobbles when he talks (open and close hands and gobble!)

Hi!
You can do the Turkey Trot! (The Hokey Pokey like a turkey!)
put your left wing, right wing, drumsticks, stuffing, wattle, tail
feathers, gobble-gobble... you can just go on
and on and on...
Five Little Turkeys
5 little turkeys I once knew,
Fat ones, (hold arms out wide) thin ones, (pull arms in close) and
short ones too! (squat down)
One little turkey with an itty-bitty wattle (hold hand upside down
under chin)
Said good-bye with a "Gobble, gobble, gobble!"
Hope this helps! Have fun! Gobble gobble!
Melissa:-)
Here's a couple of things I use every November:
Five Little Turkeys:
Five little turkeys by the barn door,
One waddled off and then there were four.
Four little turkeys out under the tree, One waddled off and then there
were three.
Three little turkeys with nothing to do, One waddled off and then
there were two.
Two little turkeys in the noonday sun, One waddled off and then there
was one.
One little turkey, better run away!
Soon it will be Thanksgiving Day.
I use this as a flannel board. I photocopied five turkey patterns,
colored them with felt markers, covered them with contact paper (front
and back) and glued pieces of felt on the back. Easy flannel board to
make, or use your hand to count down as a fingerplay.
Another flannel board that is a big success:
Turkey Feathers (sung to The Muffin Man)
Do you have a red feather, a red feather, a red feather, If you have a
red feather, Put it on right now.
I made a round turkey with a simple face out of felt and cut feather
shapes out of different colored felt. Pass out the feathers to the
kids and go through the different colors you have. The kids *love*
hanging things on the flannel board.
This is not exactly a fingerplay and I don't remember which book it
originally came from.
To prepare cut a large turkey body out of cardboard or poster board.
Glue either real or construction paper feathers to snap clothespins.
Give a feather to each child and then sing this song. ("Are you
Sleeping/ Fere Jacques" tune)
Turkey feathers, turkey feathers
Brightly colored, brightly colored
If you have a red one, if you have a red one Add it now, add it now.
Then the children with red feathers will come up and clip their
feathers to the turkey.
Here are some of my old stand-bys:
A turkey is a funny bird
His head goes wobble, wobble
And he knows just one word,
Gobble, gobble, gobble
Ten fat turkeys standing in a row (hold up ten fingers) They spread
their wings and tails like so (spread fingers)
The strut to the left, they strut to the right (move fingers left and
right) Then they say gobble, gobble, gobble in the bright sunlight.
Five fat turkeys are we
We slept all night in a tree
When the cook came around
We couldn't be found
And that's why we're here, don't you see!
Five fat turkeys sitting on a fence
The first one said, "I'm so immense."
The second one said, "I can gobble at you." The third one said,
"I can
gobble, too."
The fourth one said, "I can spread my tail." The fifth one said,
"Don't catch it on a nail." A farmer came along and stopped to say,
"Turkeys look best on Thanksgiving Day!"
I'm a little turkey (sung to "I'm a little teapot") I like to play
I'm very hungry
I eat all day
When I see the hunter with his gun
Then I know it's time to run.
(sung to Frere Jacques)
I eat turkey, I eat turkey (point to self) Yes, I do. Yes, I do. (nod
head)
Turkey in my tummy, yummy, yummy, yummy (rub tummy) Good for me. Good
for me. (Point to self and smile.)
Continue with I eat mashed potatoes, pie and ice cream, homemade
biscuits
Hope this helps!

MR. TURKEY, MR. TURKEY
By Lois Peters
Mr. Turkey, Mr. Turkey, when you run around,
(Place hands around mouth as if calling to Mr. Turkey)
Mr. Turkey, Mr. Turkey, what's that funny sound?
(Place hand by ear as if listening)
Gobble, gobble, gobble? It's a funny thing to say.
(Place other hand by the other ear)
Because we're going to gobble YOU on Thanksgiving Day!
(Use pointer finger to emphasize last line)
From Finger Frolics 2

currently getting digests. Initially I will have to subscribe you to
individual messages, but you'll be reset to digest in fairly short order.
The move to Listproc will also bring back the Index at the top of the
Digest, which will make many of you happy, I know!
The archives are going to take a little longer to come up. The server we
are moving to is also going through a building location change, so they
are kinda busy. They have promised to get our old archives up and running
in 2000.
The coordination between Nysernet and the new site on Moving Day may be
just a bit dicey. Turning Nysernet off at just the right time so anyone
who is subscribing will seamlessly be led to the new site will be a bit
tricky, so expect some burps in the system. I don't want to leave anyone
behind at the old Nysernet site.
I'll keep you posted and will alert you to the timing of the move.
