Hi Everyone,
I'm sure this topic has been covered a many of times and if it has I
would appreciate it if someone could forward those results to me.
My question is: What internet filter (if any) does your library use in
the children's area? And also please comment on them if you like.
Thanks!

I've been informed by the Prairienet people that all listservers originating

We have a book in our Parent-Teacher collection from Barron's: RED LACE,
YELLOW LACE: Learn to tie your shoe! by Mike Casey. It's spiral
bound, and
the back cover has a picture of a sneaker with a long shoelace that is half
red, half yellow strung through the holes.

Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for

One of our local media specialists is looking for a book that fits this
description:
chapter book
read by this parent 30 or so years ago (could have been written earlier)
about a family with a mechanical elephant
set in south Florida
We've tried her catalog, our catalog, Amazon, What Do Children Read
Next...all the usual sources - with absolutely no luck.
If you have any idea what the title and/or author of this book is, please
e-mail me off-list at baileys120@hotmail.com.
I will pass any answers on to
the media specialist.

Hello Pubyacers-
I am trying to locate picture books, fiction or non fiction which talk
about the concept of a "missing person" for ps-2.
This is in the wake of the tragedy Sept.11. The patron has books that
deal with
grief, post traumatic stress, separation anxiety,etc. and has used
resources suggested here, and elsewhere about helping children deal with
the situation; but we have not found any books dealing with missing
persons.
I also checked A to Zoo, and LC. Several titles suggest a
missing/kidnapped
person, but I can't seem to find one for this age group on MIA's. Any
ideas?
TIA,

When I was in 5th grade, we had a beginning French class, and at some point
we were assigned "Le Petit Prince". I was glad I already
knew the story
when I met it in French! I was also glad to know how to find the
(English
version) book so I could crib my translations! I was pleased to meet
Antoine de St. Exupery, a visionary author (in print, as he was long dead)
and struggled through his Night Flight as well as a biography. Was I a
future librarian? I didn't think so, I just liked the way he wrote and
I
wanted to know "why". Here's wishing your children will have
access to this
extraordinary book (and others) at an early age.

Hello all -- I need some help with a stumper a boy presented to me
today. He's six and remembers reading a picture book about a black and
white horse who won't let a woman ride him but will let a man. He said
the cover shows children riding horses. This was all he could recall.

We have one more stumper puzzling us at Barrington
lately as well.
A mother would like a fiction book for her son, age 11, about a boy
feeling pressured to date, but who makes a positive choice not to date.
The mother is very conservative and doesn't want a book that even
alludes to sexual awakening. I'm not sure anything exists in this
category, but thought we'd see if anyone out there has any ideas. =20
Please reply to me at kcruze@barringtonarealibrary.org

advance, Karen Cruze.

Does anyone recognize these lyrics? If you do, my library directory

The first portion of lyrics is--"half the greatest noises"
The other song has this refrain "dance, dance, dance

France"
These songs were originally heard on a vinyl record album that belonged to a
Sunday School.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, everyone. I need your help. We have a library patron who is
trying
to find out more information about the following rhyme including its name,
a resource where it has been published, or any history about it. She
believes it was written between the 1850s and 1890s.
Roses and lilies and auntie over
The old maple leaves falling off the old maple trees
Does this sound familiar to anyone? We have tried all of the volumes
that
we own of the Index to Poetry, collections of rhymes, and a variety of
poetry sites on the Internet. We would greatly appreciate any help you
can offer. Thanks.

Hello Great Brain,
I need some help with a stumper that was asked of me last week. I
asked
the gentleman to write down everything he remembered about the book so I
could post it to you. Here's what he remembers:
I remember a book I read around 1965 - I was in second grade. All I
can
remember was there was some kind of contest between two giant Chinese
men and a small boy. I think at the end of the story they have a
contest on who can throw a rock the farthest. The little boy wins the
contest because the rock he picked up was actually a bird and when he
threw it, the bird flew away.
The part about the bird flying away rang a bell, but nothing came to
me. I checked our catalog under Chinese folklore and Chinese fiction,
but none of the titles seemed familiar to him.
Please respond to the address below if you can help with this. Thanks
much!

Hi --
We have a book in our collection titled Red Lace, Yellow Lace by Mike Casey
(Barron's, c. 1996) that is very popular. It has rhyming text that
teaches
young children how to tie a shoe, and comes with a red shoelace and a yellow
shoelace attached to the book. In fact, it is so popular that I'm down
to
one
copy that frequently has reserves (three copies have walked off in the last
year) and am adding 3 more copies.

This is what she rememebers: An old witch lives on a glass hill with her
