Thank you to everyone who responded to my stumper about the boy who
cannot/would not play a musical instrument but became a conductor.. I
will need to order and read the title to make sure if it is the correct
book but I think it is. The title is The Fabulous Song by Don Gilmore
isbn 0916291804. ( thank you Ginger and Leslie!) And I can't wait to
get my hands on the John Lithgow book The Remarkable Farkle McBride, it
should be funny. This is one of those times where I am "challenged" in
an area(musically) but think it is so important to expose the children
to the theme. That's why I am bringing in outside people (the bassoon
is my son!) to help with the program. Thanks again,

Subject: Read to Your Bunny Posters
Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2000 02:08:48 CDT
Since there has been some discussion about the Read to Your Bunny book,
I
wanted to remind folks that Rosemary Wells has agreed that anyone who
wants
to reproduce the poster (created for the Association of Booksellers for
Children several years ago but basically the same as the jacket to the
book)
for early literarcy programs may do so. The Texas State Library paid to
have color separations made several years ago and we are willing to loan
them to other library projects. The Texas Center for the Book and the
Texas
State Library just printed more posters at a cost of about 14.5 cents
per
poster (we aren't selling them; I'm just giving the cost so that you
have
some idea what we paid). All we ask is that you pay for the shipping of
the
color seps. You would need to add any text for your project but most
printers can do that very easily (as the printer for TCB just did).
Additionally, the Texas State Library and the Texas Library
Association's
Children's Round Table created a packet of Read to Your Bunny ideas that
includes clip art by Wells approved for non-profit use. Go to
http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/pubs/readbunny/index.html
and you may
download
any materials you wish to you. While we love to receive credit for our
work, you are welcome to use any of it. You might also check out
http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/pubs/adoptbunny/index.html
for more ideas.
This packet was created by the Texas State Library to encourage older
children to read to/with younger children. Again, Rosemary Wells
created
the piece of art and agrees to its use by any library to support reading
programs. If you have any questions, or need further verification that
it's
okay to use the artwork, let me know.

Hello All-
This stumper is from a patron who originally read this book in
Bulgarian.
She thinks it was pubished in English by an author with a name sounding
like 'mine read.' The author has written several titles, the first of
which she thinks was about Native Americans and interactions with
British
settlers. The main character's name in this book is LOUIS POINDEXTER
and
the translation ofthe title was "Horse Rider with No Head." (it is not
the headless horseman by Irving) The author writes for YAs and
children-
mostly adventure stories.
Any help with the author or title would be great!
Thanks-

Oh, omnipitent collective, I know that there are literally hundreds of
versions of fairy tales told in a different manner such as:
Lon Po Po is a version of Cinderella
Three Javelinas is a version of Three Little Pigs
Dinorella is a version of Cinderella.
Is there anywhere I can find a list of these alternatives?
I am looking for as many as possible as I am trying to do an entire
storytimes session of 12 weeks using alternatives. I especially am
looking for alternatives to "Puss in Boots", "Little Red Riding
Hood" and
"The Fisheman and His Wife" I know there is an African American
version
of Little Red Riding Hood and I just can't think of the title.
Thank you all for helping,

The "thank you letter to srp volunteers post caught my eye. We were
just
sending our thank you letters off, and I thought other libraries might be
interested in our approach this year, written by our department head,
Ginny Richey. Here are a few excerpts:
"Those of you who helped us in programs know how busy we were.
There were 269 programs in the library this summer. 6,354 people
participated...We couldn't have done it without your help."
"Those of you who helped with book displays know how many books
were selected to read this summer. There were 58,818 items checked out of
the Children's Department just in June and July. People found those
interesting books you selected to display."
"Those of you who helped behind the scenes know how much
photocopying, stamping, and cutting out it takes to get things going. You
cut out shapes for almost 800 kids to put their names on the Callenge Wall
of Fame, and processed 500 brand new paperbacks."
"You were one of 55 volunteers who helped in the Children's dept
this summer. You may have worked lots of days or only once, but all
together volunteers worked 480 hours. All together you made a lot of
difference in our summer. Thank you..."
I think that this approach gives the volunteers some perspective
and shows the value of working together for the "larger picture".

Hi Kathleen
We did a program about popcorn that included playing the popcorn song
(instrumental, came out in the 80's, was played on top 40 constantly, called
"hot Buttered Popcorn") while the kids gathered around a big sheet and
bounced white and yellow crumpled up paper up and down while jumping up and
down on bubble wrap. They became a huge popcorn popper. This was tremendous
fun. Newschannel covered us on the 6 o'clock news!

A patron wants to identify a collection of animal stories read in childhood
(sometime in the early 1950's, although the book could have been published
earlier). The book was not a Little Golden Book, but much larger, possibly
30+ cm. with color illustrations and a color cover, possibly glazed boards.
Of the several stories, the patron remembers only one, about a group of wild
