I'd also like to request that Stumper posters abide by the PUBYAC guidelines and include the word STUMPER in the subject line. I love to read the stumpers when I have time, but sometimes there are 60 messages in my inbox and I just can't spare the time. Also, it would be great if you included the word stumper in your thank-you or follow-up message subject lines as well. Thanks!

A point of distinction: the essay on the FOTF website is not the same essay as that in the magazine. While the web article contains some of the same points, it is a different piece of writing for a different purpose. In fact, the web article leaves out the scriptural reference that is the key to appreciating the viewpoint of many conservative evangelical Christians. I believe the magazine essay is developed in such a way as to give people who want to understand this viewpoint the best chance of "getting it." Again, I highly recommend the magazine essay, "Exploring Harry Potter's World," by Lindy Beam, Focus On The Family magazine, May 2000, pages 14-15, for this purpose.

We have our graphic novels categorized as Young Adult Fiction and keep them in our YA room on a table (the collection is currently very small), because we were afraid that if they were shelved in the nonfiction, our patrons would have a harder time finding them.

As we don't have A to Zoo, I haven't been able to check it. She remembers a picture book about bears who plant a garden and either they plant the things upside down or the things grow upside down. If this sounds familiar to anyone, please email me with the answer. My coworker would be most appreciative. TIA.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to say thank you but I wanted to be able to share which stories I have actually selected and am now in the process of learning. Since our summer theme is music related, I decided to tell "The Frog who wanted to be a Singer" by Linda Goss; "Is It Deep Enough?" from the book "Ready-to-Tell Tales: Surefire Stories from America's Favorite Storytellers" by David Holt and William Mooney; and "Pickin' Peas" retold by Margaret Read MacDonald. These are all either music related or use rhythmic, almost musical rhymes, throughout the story. I recieved a lot of great suggestions and have kept them all for possible use in the future. The following are the other story suggestions that I received: Jim Bridger's Alarm Clock by Fleischman The Rise and Fall of Ben Gizzard by Richard Kennedy The Contests at Cowlick by Richard Kennedy The Foolish Frog the Staff by Mike Thaler Littler Tricker the Squirrel meets Big Double the Bear by Ken Kesey Nathaniel Willy, Scared Silly Mama Don't Allow by Thatcher Hurd The Old Man who Loved to Sing by John Winch The Bremen Town Musicians Abiyoyo Sam and the Tigers by Pinkney Epaminondas by Eve Merriam Soap, Soap, Soap from Richard Chase's Grandfather Tales the Gunniwolf by Wilhelmina Harper Obedient Jack and others My Little Sister Ate a Hare Why Alligator Hates Dog Bigfoot Cinderrrrella by Tony Johnston The Squeaky Door by Laura Simms Lazy Jack from the Jack Tales Airmail to the Moon by Tom Birdseye Bubba the Cowboy Prince by Helen Ketteman The Piney Wood Peddlar by George Shannon The Cat came Back I Know an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly The Scrambled States of America--use a song from Wee Sing America that lists all the states The Most Welcome Visitor by Quackenbush Oh, No, It's Waylon's Birthday! by Stevenson The Gingerbread Boy Anytime Mapleson and the Hungry Bears by Gerstein Mr. Lincoln's Whiskers by Winnick Aunt Harriet's Underground Railroad in the Sky by Ringgold Wilma Unlimited by Krull Who Killed Cock robin by O'Malley Fin M'Coul by dePaola Anansi stories by Kimmel The Principal's New Clothes by Calmenson I hope I didn't overlook anyone's suggestions. Thank you all so much for the suggestions. You clued me in to a number of stories that I wasn't familiar with. I'll be going out to the schools the latter part of May and first part of June and will let you know how it goes. Good luck to everyone else with their upcoming school visits and summer reading programs.
