Lori:
What type of "fun" are you adding to the "Friday Fun"?
At programs we host
with
av variety of ages, the format used is a book followed by a theme related
game
or music and movement. Kids are never bored. They love playing
games. As
an
example, read The Hare and the Tortoise and follow it by breaking into teams
and
having the "Hare and Tortoise Relay". (This, of course, is a
made-up name.)
The games is simple - the children "hop" like the hare to one end
of the
room,
and on their way back to the team, they crawl on hands and legs like the
tortoise. The children will love it. I try to modify games to
extend the
story. Music and dance works very well also. This way the
children do not
know
what to expect next and are not sitting and listening for long periods of
reading. If you need other ideas, please contact me off the list at
whitneto@oplin.lib.oh.us.
Have FUN!

Lee that really sounds like fun. How long did the
paper take to dry? My little ones are here and gone
in 40-45 min.

AS of March 31st Scholastic has notified it's booksellers that the Order
of the Phoenix will not be released this year. The expected date of
publication will early in 2002. It will not be released for the movie-
that was never even in the works and the author has requested to move the
date b ack due to how the work is going. So the Dec. date is no longer
workable
for her.

We have given up registering for regular programming. We do use tickets for
special events when we have to limit audience numbers due to lack of space.
In
those cases, we hand out tickets on the day of the program. We
normally
have
two performances and use different colored tickets for each to make it
easier
to keep thing straight.

I was wondering if you would also like a suggestion on
an additional book - a great title is Muddigush
I am not sure of the author but it is a wonderful
story about the gushy sounds that mud makes and the
children usually join in. It is a fun story to read
Good Luck

Has anyone out
there have any great program ideas from successes that you have had in the
past? These can be for children ranging from ages 3-13 but not

Hi all,
I'm supposed to "tell" an Easter story or two for a church easter
egg hunt,
rather than read them from books as is my usual gig. Help! Know
any good
stories for telling?
At your mercy and in need of assistance,

I don't know about making them, but my kids used to love dirt cups.
It's
chocolate pudding, topped by chocolate wafer crumbs, with a gummy worm or
two included.

blackberry bush in England and makes magic happen when he lights his pipe.

I have a patron who is looking for the name of a Canadian Children's song =
writer/poet
who was recording 20 years ago. He did one song that had the first line =
"Skyscaper,=20
sklyscraper, scrape me some sky". She thinks he has a very simple one =
syllable first and last name. I did a search on Goggle and she felt it is =
not Raffi, Fred Penner, Sharon Lois and Bram, Jack Will, Raffi, Bob King, =
Eric Nagler, Duncam Wells, or Jack Grunsky. She felt he was Canadian
as =
he used lots of Canadian place names in his songs. She'd like to=20
find the tapes/reocrds/cds for her daughter and grandchild. Thanks in =
advance of your collective wisdom. E-mail me at jhogan@spl.org.

Hello,
I have a patron searching for a childhood book. Has anyone ever heard of
this story?
Thanks in advance. You can reply to me @ smellott@co.wake.nc.us
Thanks,
Sue Mellott
This book is about a little house (she thinks it was in a city between two
big buildings). Anyway this little house was lonely and was always
hoping
fopr someone nice to move in. A very tall family tries to move in, but
the
house is too short. A very fat family tries to move in but the ouse is
too
small (sounds a little like goldilocks and the three bears doesn't
it --ha,ha). Anyway finally a little old lady moves in and is very
happy.
This lady it seems makes the best peanut butter cookies and makes a name
for
herslef in the nieghborhood with them (maybe she sets up a little store? or
maybe she just gives them away to the neighbors).

Our patron remembers a folktale about a man with a very sharp ax who goes
around asking people to cut his head off, but the ax is so sharp that he
can put his head back on. Until, one day, his ax gets dull, and he
can't
put his head back on. Although it bears some similarities, we don't
think
the patron is talking about Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Anyone
remember such a story?
You may reply directly to medchild@jcls.org.
Thanks!
