We're offering a Survivor "series" on survival skills encouraging
teens to =
participate so they can "make the cut". It's being taught by an
OREO =
trainer (Outdoor Recreation Education Opportunities) and includes stuff =
like orienteering, backpacking, building a fire, etc. We've broken it into =
three separate sessions. I also had an entomologist do a program on bug =
cuisine during Nat Lib Week that might be a good addition!

Hello,
Has anyone done any type of program for young adults
based on the TV =
=3D
show Survivor, and would be willing to share the details? I've been
=3D
playing around with the idea of doing our own version of Survivor, but I =
=3D
don't really like the idea of voting people out of the 'tribe' I'm =3D
having trouble working around that and still maintain enough resemblance =
=3D
to the show.
Last summer we played our own version of "Who Wants
to Be a =3D
Millionaire?" and it was very successful, so I'd like to capitalize on
=3D
another popular TV show.
Thanks.

Hello everyone,
I'm hoping to create a bibliography of fascinating true stories for
elementary school readers (about 4th - 8th grade). I'd like the books
to
be similar to novels, as opposed to general nonfiction. For example,
Basher Five-Two by Scott O'Grady tells the story of how he survived, hid
and escaped after his F-16 was shot down over Bosnia in 1995. (I
recently
read the adult version, Return With Honor, and I couldn't put it down!)
If anyone has any suggestions for similar titles, would you please send
them to me at smcgowan@ccs.nsls.lib.il.us
? I'll be happy to post the
results.
Thanks in advance,
Sarah

A mother of a just turned three year old is asking about a picture book
for her son that discusses why you shouldn't put everything in your
mouth. She wants a book that covers the consequences of putting things
in your mouth i.e choking etc.
We looked at Keep Your Mouth Closed, Dear by Aliki but she didn't think
it really drove home the hazards of putting things in your mouth.
I looked in A to Zoo under swallowing, mouth, hazards, choking
etc...but there is very little there.
It is a busy Saturday and my brain must focus on other people...Any
thoughts?
Thanks!

California held a conference on historical fiction for children, with guest

Edinger. We have extra copies of the annotated bibliography of
recommended
historical fiction for children that was made for the conference, so we can
sell them for $8.50 (which covers postage). All orders should include
payment, make checks payable to "ACL." Mail your requests
to:
ACL
Box 12471

We also have copies of our Distinguished Books List, covering the books our

Hi all,
1) Many thanks to everyone who responded to my stumper about the spy
girl
series of books...unfortunately, none of the suggestions were what my
patron was looking for! So, if you happen to get a brainstorm, let me
know: spy girl heroine, series of 4-5 books for 4th-5th graders, easy
chapter books, patron read them when she was a girl and she is in her
early 40s.
2) NEW STUMPER: A young patron is looking for a picture book in
which
the heroine (who has short black hair) is walking along with a recipe in
hand; she loses the recipe (it is in her sock?), but then finds it.
There
is an actual recipe in the back of the book for "rainbow cookies".
Does
this ring a bell with anyone? It is not SODY SALERATUS.
Thank you for your brain power and your generosity with your time!
