Hi all~
Can anyone help me with a personal stumper? I am trying to remember the
name
of a sound recording that was an ALA Notable Recording back in the
earlier
1990s (too early to be on the ALA website's list of older Notables). It
was
a compilation of zydeco and cajun music for children with various
performers, maybe Papillion was one. The title began with "Les Petite(s)
_____." I would very much appreciate if anyone remembers this recording
and
can send me any information about it, including the full title,
producer,
date of production, etc. Thanks!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, or maybe
someone
did and I just missed it. She's kind of a combination of S.E. Hinton and
Anne Rice, gaining praise from the likes of Annette Curtis Klause and
others, with four supernatural fantasy (aka horror) novels to her credit
so
far:

I played Quidditch. We used red balloons for the blodgers, no brooms,
and a movie souvenir snitch., but you could substitute a yellow
balloon. I set up chair "goals, " one at either end of a VERY
small
playing field. (about 15 feet by 20 feet) (We were in our meeting, and
all the other Harry Potter activities were still set up. ) One person
held the snitch and attempted to walk quickly (no running...safety
first) between two rows of blodger throwers. (You can't throw a balloon
very hard or very far.) If they made it to the chair/goal, they
"won."
(I didn't make teams or keep score. I just let whoever wanted to be the
blodger thrower do that and anyone who wanted a turn being their
favorite quidditch player carry the quidditch.)
They enjoyed it. I didn't do it the next two Harry
Potter parties
because they enjoyed other things just as much, and the potential for
someone getting hurt made me nervous. Also, half my group that time was
a summer camp, few of whom had read the book. They enjoyed "the
game,"
but not because they were Harry Potter fans.
Perhaps I should try it again with a group who has read the
book.

Here in the Portland, Oregon, area, we are most fortunate to have an
extraordinary storyteller in our midst. Christopher Leebrick has
performed every summer and winter for the Oak Lodge, Clackamas Corner
and Hoodland branches of the Clackamas County library as well as other
city libraries in the Portland metro area. He has quite a following,
and we want other libraries to know of his talents. For those of you
out there who can't have him come to your library, Chris now has a CD
and cassette available. Entitled "Good Stories from All Over,"
selections include "Old One Eye" (Appalachian), "Strange
Animal"
(African), "The Old Man and His Grandson" (Brothers Grimm), "Pat
and the
Mule Egg" (Irish-Appalachian), "The Wind and the Moon" (George
MacDonald) and "Tebo and His Pet Fish" (Oregon Tall Tale) to name a
few. To order
either a CD ($15) or cassette ($10), contact Christopher Leebrick at
1567 Holly Street, West Linn, Oregon 97068 or 503/656-9567 or e-mail
christopherleebrick@hotmail.com.
Chris also has a website at
http://www.storynet.org/tellers/ChristopherLeebrick.htm
if you want
more information about this outstanding
storyteller.
We have loved having him perform for our library patrons. Children (5
and up) and adults who have attended his performances here never miss
the next opportunity to hear him again. We want all of you who love
good storytelling to hear Chris.

I do a weekly program at a school for homeless and disadvantages
children
(K-6) where I read aloud from a chapter book. I try to pick books that
I
can finish in 3-4 weeks (but no more than 5 weeks). This means books
need
to be around 100 pages. I often assign a project to go along with the
reading, that the kids do over the week until I come again. For
instance,
when I read _The Best School Year Ever_, the kids were to write a
compliment
for everyone else in the school. Then I consolidated all the
compliments
for each person onto one page and handed them out the day we finished
the
book. You should have seen their faces. They have written poetry,
written
letters, and drawn pictures on a theme of the book.
It's hard enough to find good read-aloud books for the age range from
K-6,
but to expand that range to include pre-schoolers and parents would be
really difficult. You will have the added distraction of kids eating
while
you are reading, so I would say it's best to limit your group to K-6 and
your time to 45 minutes.

Hi, everyone--
I'm fairly new to PUBYAC, so I'm sorry if this has already been
discussed
before. We'd like to try a new program this summer, and we need some
advice.
We thought we'd try reading aloud a chapter book, spread out over
several
weeks' time, and asking the kids to bring lunch and a pillow/cushion and
come
listen while they eat (we'd provide juice and cookies.) How long should
this
program be? And how about the age of the audience? We were thinking
45
min.
for gr. K-6, but should we allow parents and preschool siblings?
Has anyone had success with this type of program before? We'd really
appreciate any suggestions for good titles, catchy names, helpful hints,
etc.
that you can give us. TIA!

Ruhama,
We have a series edited by E.D. Hirsch Jr. from
Doubleday for grades K-6 that I would recommend. Each
title is "What Your ---- (Kindergartner, First Grader,
Second Grader, etc) Needs to Know." Each book covers
fine arts, motor skills, reading, social studies,
mathematics, science and includes suggested readings.
The series is a good resource for homeschoolers, but
also for any parent.

Hi everyone--
I had a mom come in and ask if there were any other
series like "What Your First Grader Needs to Know" so
that she could get ahead during the summer with each
of her kids. I discovered that in our library we also
had
the series "How Is my First Grader Doing in School?"
and she took that.
I went to amazon and found a few more series--"Summer
Smarts," "10 Minutes a Day"--and I was wondering if I
missed any, and are there any that stand out above the
others?
Thanks very much!

We played Quidditch using large craft brooms and whiffle balls. The
houses
competed against each other pushing the balls up and around chairs.
Volunteers occasionally threw golden snitches (Hershey's Almond Kisses)
across their paths and the preselected seekers had to run out and grab
them. At the end, the seekers divided them among their team members.
Easy
and great fun.

PUBYACers,
I thank all who responded to my query about the book with an
Ethan Allan as the subject that has the storyline of an African-American
boy being adopted by a white family.
It is entitled "Edgar Allan" by John Neufeld & was
published
in 1968.
I very much appreciate all your help.

I am preparing a safety program for June 2002 geared for children age
5-12. There will be representatives for various organizations to give
safety pep talks. I will also include a short safety story hour. If
anyone has a suggestions of songs (I really need some safety songs) and
stories, I would appreciate you passing them to me.
I have collected a few titles such as Officer Buckle and Gloria; I am
Fire; Dinosaurs, Beware! and the Loewen series.
Thanks in advance
Kevin

We've been giving out used books as prizes for several years now. We get
a tremendous amount
of donations in our library, many which are like new. Most of the money
we get to finance our SRP from our Friends group goes for programming,
refreshments and crafts. The only paid prizes
we give out are imprinted bags or something similar upon registration.
After that, we have
periodic drawings for prizes that we solicit from local businesses. We
have a library assistant go through the donations all year along. Each
week, a child checks in with their reading log
and chooses a "used book" for a prize. No one has ever really
complained
about this, and
registration goes up every year.

Hi everyone,
this was still intriguing me so I emailed Margaret and this is her
explanation
'..."horrakapotchkin"! I believe I invented this word. I haven't
encountered it anywhere exceept in my own stories. That isn't to say
that
there wasn't some Middle-European influence in the back of my
unconscious
mind.'

Subject: Horrakapotchkin!
To the Yaccer's who are enjoying summer now,
I've read the word "Horrakapotchkin" in several of Margaret Mahy's
books.
Is this a common expression in New Zealand? If so, what does it mean?
(I
can probably guess from the context, but...)
Just curious,

Hello, a patron is looking for a book where perhaps a lion, badger
(mole),
and a dog, are on an adventure. Each animal has a different personality
trait, the lion being courageous, etc. They do different things that
show
opposite approaches. She explained this by saying one group of animals
took
the high road, one the load. One was gruff, one used kindness. She says
that
the book keeps going back and forth almost like mini-chapters between
the
two groups of animals, and that she thinks that it might have had
adventure
in the title. Any ideas? She thinks that the book is fairly new...... I
can't come up with anything. Thank you so much for your help.
