Hello,
I held an Arthur Birthday party in May. There were two
sessions, each with 30 children aged 3-7 years old.
First we sat together as I read a few Arthur books,
starting with Arthur's Nose to show how he has changed
physically during his 25 year "life". Then each child
was given an Arthur face mask to cut out and color. We
glued them on popsicle sticks so the children could
hold the mask in front of their faces. After they
cleaned up from their craft they were served apple
juice and animal crackers (snacks starting with the
letter A for Arthur). As each child left, they were
given an Arthur goodie bag filled with Arthur
bookmarks, pencils, coloring sheets, etc. It was a
huge hit. I'm not sure how it will go with 100
children signed up for each session though... good
luck! ~Cathie

Hi Everyone,
I know this is a bit off of the subject of an Arthur party, but we had
just been talking about Arthur's nose and I am wondering who out there
might know what happened to his long Aardvark nose? Kind of like the
Curious George thing?? If this is old news, I guess I missed it!

Debra
the children's librarian before me gave out one free book for each ten books
read. the problem we encountered was that some children "read" 400
books,
thereby winning 40 books. this, in itself, is not a problem but reading
families with five or six children were getting such a disproportionate
amount of our budget that we changed to more general book distributions, two
books per distributions per child, and prizes for motivation.
this was how we handled it, but i think the other could work if you can put
some limits on it upfront.

I suggested the International Wildlife Encyclopedia, but was unable to
verify if it was still available.
The new Fall catalog from Marshall Cavendish came today and a new edition
of that title is available.

Dear Debra,
I ordered books from scholastics and found some books at Bargain Bookland.
The service organizations and businesses in our community are very generous.
Burlington Saturn and Burlington Rotary International made sizable monetary
gift. Saturn requested that I purchase books at Waldenbooks which I

We used Scholastic paperback books...I went to their warehouse sale,
everything 1/2 price and then went crazy in the bargain books...some were
only
$1.00!!!!!
The kids are having the best time picking out their book!
If you have a public television station in your area, call their education
coordinator to do a program. Ours did an excellent program and gave
EVERY
child a book to take home. Turn off the TV!!!! We paid them
$150.00 for
two
programs and they gave away almost 500 books. Not a bad deal.
It was an excellent day.

Debra,
We have used books as incentives for SLP for years. The book is the
final
prize for completing the summer library program. We get most of our
books
from Bookmen at a reasonable discount. We bought about 3000 books this
year
for SLP.
We also give smaller weekly prizes for completing the week's reading, so we
use both books and toys.

Content-Type: text/plain;

Sponge necklaces are a fun beach party craft if you have enough people to
supervise the needles. You will need (1) pieces of at least 1/2 inch
thick
variously colored sponge cut in odd shapes--geometric chunks are best (thin
pieces, such as sponge rags, don't work very well), (2) a selection of
colorful, heavy nylon string--often available at places like Walmart or
Lowe's in boxes of five or six spools in assorted neon colors, and (3) super
large needles such as over-sized tapestry needles or heavy plastic kids'
craft needles (has to be sturdy enough to punch through the sponge)
The
method: simply let children choose a few pieces of sponge to string.
Tie
the ends together and let them wear the necklaces during the party--even in
the pool. Probably the best way to do this is to set up work center/s
around a table on the pool deck. Have the sponge chunks and string
pre-cut.
Adult or teen supervisors will oversee threading, using, and returning the
needles. It doesn't take long to make a necklace, and kids can take
turns
working on them throughout the party. Each will have a bit of a party
costume and as well as a take-home favor. All of the materials for
this
craft could be donated by a local store.
Now that I have written this, I'm wondering if I should be nervous about
kids wearing necklaces strangling themselves and one another while horsing
around in the pool. It didn't happen the times I've used this
activity, but
in this age of liability anxiety . . .

Dear Children's Librarians/Consultants/PUBYAC subscribers/ALSC members,
et.al -
I was absolutely flabbergasted to learn that Julie Cummins has been
terminated as the editor of School Library Journal. At this time, there are
few details available.
In Julie's short tenure her editorials have been thoughtful, concerned and
stimulating. The magazine's content and articles are relevant and current,
with practical and philosophical appeal to a wide range of readers.
School Library Journal continues to be one of the most important magazines
in the Children's Services arena and as its consumers we need to let the
publisher know of the magazine's value as well as Julie's positive
influence.

goes like this, there is a man that has lots and lots of dirty dishes
and he doesn't want to clean them. His house keeps piling up with
dirty
dishes, then he brings them all outside, it rains, and the dishes get
clean again, and he brings them in again. She "thinks" that
she may

she was 6 or 7 years old at the time.

I learned some of a song called "Pizza Hut" last year at the
National
Storytelling Conference. Here's what I remember:
Pizza hut, Pizza hut (hands together in a point like pizza hut roof)
Kentucky fried chicken (hands tucked under arms, flap like chicken wings)
and a Pizza Hut (repeat above motions)
McDonald's, McDonald's (use arms to make an "m" on each word)
Kentucky fried chicken (repeat above moves)
and a Pizza hut (repeat moves for this)
It goes on with similar verses, substituting other fast food places.
For example:
Burger King, Burger King (make crown with hands)
Red Lobster (make snapping "lobster claw motions with hands)
and a Burger King
McDonalds, McDonalds (make "m")
Red L:obster (snapping claws)
and a Burger King (crown)
And:
Taco Bell, Taco Bell (make bell clapper ringing)
Long John Silvers (patch over eye)
and a Taco Bell (bell)
McDonald's, McDonalds (make "m")
Long John Silvers (patch)
and a Taco Bell (bell)
Absolutely no redeeming quality to this, except it's a lot of fun to sing!
And can be used for a storytime stretch. Kids love it, though.
Anyone want the tune? Call me and I can sing it to you! At work

years ago that he would now like to read to his children. He described them
as adventures that involved two brothers on the frontier, he estimates about
1890's. The setting was reminiscent of Little House on the Prairie and he is

Dear Colleagues:
The PUYAC moderator has told me that I could pass along this
information without necessarily being a PUBYAC subscriber.
I live in the small northeastern Minnesota town of Biwabik. Our
community was the setting for Phil Stong's 1935 children's book,
HONK, THE MOOSE (New York: Dodd, Mead). It is a children's
title and was a Newbery Honor book in 1936.
After an extensive effort at finding the copyright holder, the Mayor
of our community was able to secure permission to reprint HONK.
The copies of the re-print have arrived and I have been asked to
help make folks in the children's literature and/or library community
aware of the book's present, and limited, availability. I have no
financial interest in the sale of the book and pass this info along
only as a community service.
Questions about the book itself are best directed to the webpage
