unanimous the title is "Hi Daddy, Here I Am" by Greta Hertz.

about a mother and son. Or it may just be about the joys of
daughters and then about the joys of sons. It isn't Mother/Father by

Hi!
Thanks to Claire and Claudia for telling me about
Carbonel, the King of Cats by Barbara Sleigh. It
definitely seems to fit our patron's description, and
sounds like a great book (and series!) as well.

Great Skeleton song I remember from 2nd grade!
Poor Clifford skeleton is very sad tonight
we were all eating tacos, and he wanted to take a bite
but every time he swallowed a taste it made him very sore
it fell out through his ribs, and landed on the floor!
Kids can continue to sing, floor, floor, floor, floor and continue song as a
round robin with some doing verse and others background. They love this
song. If you want me to sing it to you, give me a call! Melissa, (508)

I just wanted to respond to the people who suggested having live worm
races at the library. You suggested allowing children to do the
following
to get the worms to move: spraying them with water, stroking them,
shouting at them and blowing on them. The worms probably start moving
out
of fear. This is cruel to the worms and a terrible example to set for
the
children. For a fun alternative, you could have a pretend worm race
and
have the kids themselves wiggle across the floor. Then serve gummy
worms
in chocolate pudding with Oreo "dirt". I bet they'd have
just as much
fun.

Does anybody have a copy of the booklet, "Arthur's Library

Spanish? PBS and some corporate sponsors sent it out two or so years
ago.
I
have the English one, but I *know* I've seen it in Spanish.
The Hispanic community in my branch's area is just emerging, and we're not
really prepared. We just scheduled a storytime at the Summer Migrant
Workers
kids' program - for next Wednesday - and we really want to send some info
home
to the parents. If someone has the booklet, specifically the Tips for

I had a Beach Party in January, and in between the storytime portion of the
program and the craft portion. I had the kids go "fishing."
Each child was
given a small blue napkin as their bit of ocean, a stick pretzel for the
pole, goldfish crackers for the fish and a small condiment cup (like you get
for ketchup at McDonalds) of peanutbutter for the bait. The object was
to
try to catch a fish by dipping the pretzel in peanutbutter and then getting
a fish to stick to it. The kids loved it, and it kept them busy while
I set
up the craft.
For the craft, we made sunglasses. I had the pattern copied on
cardstock so
the kids cut them out and decorated them with markers, stickers, etc.
Our
kids like making things they can wear, and we got some great "Kodak
moments"
of them modeling their creations.

We just got done with our Arthur party about an hour ago. Wow!
What a hit!
170 people showed up! This was our second largest attendance at
a program
this summer.
We started with a video, which was about 25 minutes, then moved on to
coloring sheets and a craft. The craft was a toilet paper roll Arthur
figure, that I found on the DLTK crafts for kids site. While everyone
started the craft, I began cutting the birthday cake. After cake and
cookies, as the kids left, they received a small party favor bag with an
Arthur bookmark, stickers, and a balloon.
Doesn't seem like very much, but the program lasted about an hour and a
half. I think that all of our Arthur books were checked out too, even
the
Christmas and Thanksgiving titles. Very successful!

While Barnes and Noble is getting the big press, please don't forget that
the American Booksellers Association is also a partner in TEEN READ WEEK.
The ABA represents thousands of independent bookstores across the country.
These stores are locally owned, community based and community minded. Try
asking your local bookstore owners or managers if they would like to be
part of your activities. Perhaps you could hold readings in each
others
locations or a trivia contest that has a gift certificate for grand
prize... At least get the store to put up a teen read week book display and
post your flyers there. If you don't already have a 'community
partnership" with your local bookstore, here is the perfect opportunity
to
start up!!! Let me know what happens!

You might want to split the 6-12 age group. Mystery solving abilities
improve greatly with age. ;-) Your 10-12 (maybe age 9) age group might
really benefit from a activity/program geared especially for them.
You might get some ideas from the series "Clue" based on the
Parker
Brothers game. For instance, #8 "The clue in the shadows"
starts off
with who is playing tricks on their dinner companions, plastic spider in
the soup, plastic severed hand on the floor, etc. In the second chapter
someone falls over dead, but in the solution , the reader discovers not
only who is the perpetrator but that the victim fell over in a _dead
faint_! Ch. 3 - Who is in disguise? Ch. 4 - Who did the double murder
and stole the diamond? The perpetrator only THOUGHT he did the double
deed. In truth his vision was so bad he couldn't hit the broad side of a
barn. Ch 5. - Who killed Clarence? Clarence is a fish. However, he is a
rare fish with an ability to play dead. He revives ten minutes later.
Ch 6. - Who bent the Bentley? Fender bender, obviously... Ch. 7 - Who
killed whom at the slumber party? The victim, luckily, was merely
suffering from oxygen deprivation. Ch. 8 - Who broke the statue? Maybe
it could have been an accident. Ch. 9 - Who arrived at the stroke of
midnight? Could be a friend; could be a stranger. Ch. 10 - Who killed
Mr. Boddy? With what? Where? Luckily, the weapon missed and Mr. Boddy
pretended to play dead to teach a lesson.
The game of clue has a game board with nine rooms. Each mini mystery
is
staged in various rooms which you can designate in your library facility
with signs or simple props. Depending on your crowd and your staff
and/or volunteers, you could have participants in groups of eight or so,
assign names/parts, and each group walk through the whole series of
events.
OR
Divide into groups. Each group prepares a scene to present to the entire
group. All gather and try to solve the various mysteries. (This could
work as the older group prepares the mystery presentation for the
younger group. The younger crowd could have a storytime with stories
that have a mystery, like _Airmail to the Moon_. OR The younger group
could have a "discovery" activity of some kind. Maybe a
Mystery tasting
party: nibbles of raw apple and raw potato. Which is which? Have
dippers to dip into red catsup and green catsup? Which do you like best?
or Dip into green catsup and something else. What is the green stuff?
Sprinkle banana slices with jello. What is the mystery flavor? You get
the idea...)
Another idea:
Have a mystery games night:
Gather various mystery-related games: Clue, Clue, Jr., Crack the Case,
Whodunit, Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? etc.
Variation: Add in a Mystery Jigsaw Puzzle - the kind of
mystery that
is solved as the puzzle is put together. I found Maurice Sendak's
Christmas Mystery (A Jigsaw Puzzle) at the local thrift store -
unopened!
Good Luck!

We have a teen summer reading program, this year the theme is 2001: A
Teen Odyssey.
The program is for teens entering high school, ages 13-18.
Yes, the teen advisory concil helps pick the theme.
I give out two prizes a week, and they are either sports items, like
tickets and autographed pictures and gift certificates. Our grand
prize
is a CD Walkman.
They keep track of what they read with comment sheets, and they come and
have their punch card stamped each time they read a book.
