It is really time to stop sending these small reminders about how
right you still are. Most of us have graduated high school and the
whole
'so there' group. I hope.

In our small town the spanish population has exploded
in the last year or two. We have a books on the
Spanish Language, Spanish dictionaries and so on for
those who want to learn Spanish. What I am having
trouble finding is items for the Spanish speaking to
learn English. Probably because I do not speak
spanish. Do any of you have a good resource and/or
specific title of audio, video, or book that is well
used and of good quality at your library?

Thank you to everyone who emailed me that the second book in my "two
stumpers" post was The Egypt Game. I've passed the information on
and it is
indeed the right book and she is very happy.
No one had any ideas about the first set of books that take place in the
English countryside during the Blitz. The original post is below, so
if the
first description rings any bells, let me know: sfichtel@lmxac.org
Thanks!

I apologize for taking so long to reply to your request. I use a lot of
different books to get craft ideas and patterns. Some of them belong to me

belong to the library. Our library system received a huge grant of money for

of
your favorite craft resources for storytimes. I may already be aware
of
them, but finding more resources is always helpful. Thank you.

Greetings:
I have a patron looking for a readaloud similar in length and style to
<The
King's Equal>. She read it to 1st-5th graders last year, and it was
a big
success. She has about 40 minutes to read, and she would prefer it to
be a
fairy tale. Things like <Toads and Diamonds> and <The
Samurai's Daughter>
and <The Talking Eggs> and <Bub> are too short.
I have some things that aren't fairy tales that I think would read aloud
pretty well: The Iron Giant, Catwings, Chocolate Touch, Chocolate
Fever, My
Father's Dragon, Help, I'm a Prisoner in the Library, Gooseberry Park, but I
would love some suggestions of things more similar in length and style to
<The King's Equal>. If it wasn't too long, something like the
<Light
Princess> might work...
Something like Sarah, Plain and Tall would be <too> long in length.
Thanks,
Maggie Bollar,
