Just wondering what age you thought was too old for picture books. I
have had great success using fairly wordy picture books with kids up to
6th grade!
Good luck,
Toni

Subject: animals in the library
> Has any library had an experience with an iguana
My daughter was "gifted" with an iguana about three years ago.
Iguanas are
not domesticated animals and do have distinct personalities. They can
whip
their tails ferociously and cause welts and even harm a small child.
They
also spit--they're lizards--it's what they do. My daughter's has never
bitten anyone, but she is it's sole handler. They, for the most part
DO
NOT care to be picked up. In my most humble opinion be leery of the
iguana.
(I do after all have a four and a half foot one living in my family room in
a huge enclosure of 6 feet by four by four who manages to escape from
time
to time.) Just my two cents.

Hello, all...
I'd like information about Summer Reading Programs around the country,
specifically in cities serving a community of 500,000 or more.
The questions:
1)Briefly, how is your SRP structured?
2)How many children participate vs. how many reach the reading goal.
3) How do you keep children actively engaged in the program throughout the
summer?
4) What kind of community based support do you receive?
Please respond to me directly, and I will summarize for anyone who is
interested.
thanks!

I grew up in Montana, and learned itsy-bitsy as well.

I don't believe iguanas are mean or would
intentionally scratch someone. They just have long
claws sometimes. As long as it is for the children to
SEE and maybe touch GENTLY while someone else holds it
I don't think it would be a problem. We've had bearded
dragons, chickens, ferrets, turtles, bunnies...the
list goes on. As long as there is someone else
handling the animal that the animal trusts while the
kids pet it, it should be okay. We have a "2-finger"
rule. The kids hold up their first 2 fingers together
and that's how they get to touch. This keeps them from
grabbing the animal or getting too rough with it.

I want to thank all who took the time to respond to the goldy bug stumper I
posted. The consensus is that this is "Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks
and
Things That Go." This is one of those books that is not
easily found
through the traditional resources, so it's wonderful to have such a large
network of "memories" to query.
