Stacie,
I would either combine the two groups or, preferably,sign-up the
children to two distinct programs and,thereby,limiting access by age.

Wanda,
Back in the late seventies, when I was a children's librarian, I used to
do the Foo Foo rhyme during story times. The children and I made
rabbit
ears with one hand (first two fingers up, rest clenched) and made a
hopping motion with the hand when Foo Foo went hopping through the
meadow. Then, when we got to "scooping up all the field
mice", we made
a large scooping motion (arm out, then in toward chest) with one arm.
For "bopping them on the head" we hit one fist with the other.
Last of
all, when the godmother scolded "naughty bunny Foo Foo" we made
the
traditional scolding motion by shaking a raised forefinger. Then we
started over again.
Since you have a rabbit puppet, you can probably do all of those motions
(except the scolding) with the puppet on your hand.
I hope this helped.

I'm working with the local school district to bring Ruby Bridges to speak at
two public schools and the public library. The school librarian has
been
making all the arrangements, and there are several issues involving her
visit that have me somewhat concerned. First, she's asked that 2 1/2 -
3
hours be set aside for her visit, plus an hour for autographing. This
seems
an incredibly long time period to me. Secondly, she's asked that no
press
releases be sent out prior to her visit and that no media be allowed at the
presentation. This might be quite a reasonable request on her part,
but I'm
a bit puzzled as to how I'm going to get an audience at the public library.
Has anyone heard her speak or does anyone have words of wisdom for me?
I've
brought numerous nationally known authors to the library, so I'm not a
novice. But, this will cost a great deal and needs to be a success since
we've only recently begun cooperative library/school program efforts.
Thanks in advance.

There is an article on AR in the September 2001 School Library Journal that
is very good. Personally, I really do not care for the AR program.
In my
opinion it stifles many children. "I'd like to read this book,
but it's not
on the list" are words that I dread hearing. Some parents are so
hung up on
this "list" it frustrates me. Just my two cents.

Hi, all. This is a longshot, because I don't have much to go on, but

loose.
Our patron said that, about 30 years ago, she had a book about "animal
experiences". She said that the author was in charge of Animal
Welfare
for either the city or county of Los Angeles. She remembers that one
chapter was concerned with Rin Tin Tin, and another was about a fly.
This is all she remembers.

A juvenile fiction title by an English author, read aloud in about
1985. There are several volumes and it was very popular at the time.
A brother and sister go to live near the edge of the woods. They

in an enormous tree. As they climb higher, different animals live in
the
tree. There are other worlds and they visit animals in houses.

Hi all,
The second stumper of the day--it's been a very long day--
The story is about the Holocaust. It goes like this: Rabbit
lives someplace with other animals. A large, scary something kills the
other animals one by one until there is no one left to defend rabbit.
The
story might be based on the quote "In Germany they came first for the
Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist....etc."
This sounds so familiar but we can't pull it up in any of our
fiction subject indexes or by keyword searching. Anyone out there know

Storyteller's Sourcebook didn't turn up anything. Many

Subject: LotR Program idea list
Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2001 10:23:16 CST
I apologize that I can't remember who asked for this, so I will send it out
on
the list in the hopes that people will find it of interest.
We're planning a Lord of the Rings Program for winter break here, probably
for
the upper elementary/middle school crowd.
We're not sure if this will be a one-hour program or an on-going "all
day"
event, and the ideas are still in the planning stages, but here's what we've
come up with so far.
Each group will come to the Children's Room to get a map of the activity
areas. We will start in the Shire, and work our way to Lothlorian.
In Bree: Riddles -- even though this technically comes from "The
Hobbit",
we're using it anyway. We're going to pull a couple of riddles from
the
book
for the kids to do as a warm-up, then will have other riddles from other
sources to continue. A good site for riddles (and other Tolkien-type
activities) is http://www.tolkientrail.com
This is an interactive site
with different games and activities, all of which seem fairly
family-friendly.
Rivendell: Design a shield. In order to ward off monsters and other
dangers,
our questers will be able to make a shield from posterboard.
Decoration
items
will include die-cut shapes, stencils, markers, etc.
Moria: Translations. Questers will translate simple instructions from
Tolkien's runic alphabet, then create a bookmark (or possibly a pendent)
with
their names in runes.
Forest monsters -- questers will find a book on mythical creatures or
monsters
using our online catalog. (Could also tailor this to finding a webpage
on
the
same subjects).
Lothlorian: refreshments/trivia.
Keep in mind that these are rough-draft ideas, and are not necessarily in
the
correct order, but I thought people might be able to use them. Sorry
if
this
seems rushed -- I'm doing it right at closing time.

I have a patron who is looking for a book to help him
learn how to be an actor ("on tv"). He is 12 and is
frustrated with the games and skits approach and would
really like a book on How to Be an Actor. Any
suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance.

Many thanks to everyone for their inspired ideas for a
Harry Potter party. We held our event Friday
afternoon for 50 kids and it was a huge success! Here
is what we did:
Games:
Quidditch
The old ball on a spoon relay race with a twist. Two
teams compete against each other. As one team runs
the course, passing the Snitch-on-a-spoon from one
team member to the next, the other team tries to knock
the Snitch off the spoon with balloons (Bludgers). A
point is given for each pass made IF the Snitch has
not hit the floor on the way across. Team 2 is not
allowed to block, tackle, or touch their opponent in
any way other than by hitting the balloon toward the
Snitch. Once all the members of Team 1 have made
their way across the playing field, the teams switch
sides. The team with the most points wins and goes on
to the final round. Since there are four "houses,"
there are four teams. So, play a total of 3 games,
the winners of the first two moving on to the
Championship Match for the House Cup.
Harry Potter Trivia
We played this as a sort of reverse spelling bee. If
a player got the right answer he got a prize and sat
down, with the questions getting easier and easier
each go-around. By the end of the game, everyone had
answered a question correctly and gotten a prize.
Crafts:
Pipe-Cleaner Glasses with Lightning Bolt Face Painting
Just what it sounds like. We used black pipe cleaners
for the glasses and they looked really cute.
Make A Magic Wand
Tape objects (tinsel, feathers, stars, etc.) to the
edge of a piece of black construction paper. Tightly
roll the paper into a tube. The objects should flop
nicely from the end. Secure the edge of the roll with
scotch tape and star stickers.
Prof. Snape's Potions Class
For this we used the cake decorating sugar crystals
that are brightly colored and poured them into short
mason jars. The kids took a pinch from several of the
color and sprinkled them into their apple juice, which
changed the color of the juice, but not the taste. We
labeled the jars "crystal fire" for red, "mermaid
hair" for yellow, "dragon scale" for blue, etc. Once
they had finished their potion they were given a few
cookies to help wash it down.
Prizes:
Plastic Harry Potter cups from the party store as
prizes for the Quidditch Tournament winners
Bertie Bott's Beans (Belly Flops from the Jelly Belly
factory)
Tootsie Pop Ghosts
4 Movie Passes donated by the local theater
random HP stuff found on clearance at Target
The key to making this work for so many kids was
having half the kids playing Quidditch while the other
half did crafts. This way, none of the tables were
completely overwhelmed and none of the kids had time
to say, "I've done everything, what's next."
Thanks again for all the great suggestions. I
couldn't have pulled this off without you!
