Melissa,
What article? Did I miss some PUBYAC postings? I must admit I'm
curious
about an article that invokes such passion! Alas, I can't read it if I
don't know where it appears. More info. please.

Hi. I need your help identifying a book for a patron. He thinks it
is a
Native American story. It is about a little boy who gets caught in a tree
by a sticky icky rope. He thinks the recurring line in the book is
"Watch
out for the sticky icky rope." I have tried various searches in our
computer card catalog, A to Zoo, a couple of book store web sites, and a
couple of search engines. Please e-mail me at traciep@wichita.lib.ks.us
if you think you know the answer to this one. Thanks a lot.

I had a challenging request from a learning support teacher today. She
is looking for a novel for 6th grade learning support students and
regular students (either for them to read independently or for her to
read to them) which would contain a story line about alternative energy
sources
(such as wind, solar, hyrdoelectric). All of my searches so far have
yielded environmental themes but related to endangered species,
rainforests, preserving nature, etc. I have checked out the Who Really
Killed Cock Robin? novel by Jean C. George, but again, mostly it's
about preserving nature.
In a different "take" on it, anyone think of a story about a
modern
family who decides to return to the simple life - giving up modern
conveniences and maybe using solar power or wind power?
She said it could be in the science fiction genre if that would work.

A student employee at our library is looking for a book she read when
she was a child.
Amy/Amanda is drawing pictures of a parallell universe. Withc and a
mermaid inside a glass mountain. A chapter book from perhaps the
1950's. Any ideas? I have tried keyword searches in a variety of
sources including library catalogs, Library of Congress and the online
book stores. Does anyone remember a book like this?

Hi,
Recently someone asked about resources for teaching children how to care
for library books. I just got some samples in the mail from Positive
Promotions 1-800-635-2329 <www.positivepromotions.com>
They sent me a
bookmark and a coloring book from their "Books Are Friends For Life"
materials. I have not looked at the website yet but from the things
they sent me they seem to have other similar library-related materials.
Hope this helps someone!

Cecilia,
What about the Hastey Pudding Puppet's? Jim Stock and Don Kirk put on some
entertaining shows. One they do is entitled "By George and Everyone
Else"
'This left handed salute to American history would give Martha Washington a
migraine. During our anachronistic tour de farce back through time,
Thurston
Osgood, host of the interview program, "Meet the Patriots," brings you
face
to
face with the people who made our country what it is today and gives you a
chance to get even with them for it. Ben Franklin flies his kite on stage,
George Washington sports his famous wooden smile, and Betsy Ross puts the
first flag together before the wondering eyes of the audience. (It's a
wonder
she every got it right.) We recommend this one for third graders through
adults.'
Hastey Pudding is located in Vincennes, IN Jim and Don have been doing
puppets for over 29 years. There phone # is : 886-4962. I don't know
how
expensive they are these days. I'll give them a call and e-mail you back.
There program(s) have alot to do with them joking around with the audience
and
themselves before the performance. The puppet show usually runs around 20-
30
minutes. The adults have as much fun as the kids. TTYL

Many, many thanks to all you have replied to my stumper about the man
who was trying to save time ... interestingly enough the book is "The
Man Who Tried To Save Time" by Phyllis Krasilovsky! I believe it was
not coming up in our searches because we were limiting by "juvenile"
books only and this one is old enough it did not have that word in it's
record.
Thanks again all...I knew I could count on PUBYAC!

This storytime lends itself to lap puppets. A mouse and a clock for
hickory
dickory dock. A Girl puppet and spider puppet for little miss muffet.
Joe
Scruggs has a CD Bahama Pajamas that has a great version of Humpty Dumpty to
a reggae beat and our library system does this as a puppet show. Jack Be
Nimble with a boy doll and candle. I also included Jorge Luis Orozco's
version of la Aranita Pequenita from his CD This is my land--Esta es Mi
Tierra. He has a great version of El Hokey Pokey on this CD. I made
a
bilingual version by recording english and spanish parts on one tape.

I have two ideas for doing diversity storytime in conjunction with a
community "diversity fair." First would be a program featuring
stories from
a particular culture or area of the world such as Tales from Africa or
Hispanic Stories. I expect, however, that something more inclusive might
work better. Thus, my second idea is a program I've always enjoyed doing
that I call "Our Wonderful World." I have done this as a family
(all ages)
program and as a preschool (3 1/2 - 6 year-olds) program.
Books:
This is the Way We Eat Our Lunch by Edith Baer
Houses and Homes by Ann Morris
Whoever You Are by Mem Fox
Here in Space by David Milgrim
Tulip See America by Cynthia Rylant
This Land is Your Land by Woody Guthrie (sing or read the picture book of

Song with felt board pieces: What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong
Song: It's a Small World (from Disneyland CD)
Song: Hello to All the Children of the World (from Wee Sing Around the

Fingerplays (sorry I no longer know where I found these but they are not
original with me)
Where Do We Live
A squirrel lives in a tree (make tree with arms)
A snail lives in a shell (fist of one hand covered by other hand)
A bear lives in a cave (thumb pops in and out of one fist)
It suits her very well
A fish lives in a lake (arms in circle in front of body)
A bird lives in a nest (cup hands)
I live in a house (teepee of hands above head)
I think my home is best
Here is Our World
Here is our world, our big, round world (arms in circle in front of body)
Here are the mountains high (make peak above head with hands)
Here is the fish that swims in the sea ("swim" a hand in front of
body)
Here are the birds that fly (flutter hands)
Here is the sun, the bright, warm sun (arms in circle above head)
Here are the leaves that fall (flutter finger down to ground)
Here is our world, our big, round world (arms in circle in front of body)
See the wonder of it all (both arms open in front of body)
Touch the Earth
Feel the warmth of the morning sun
And touch the new sweet earth
Listen to the whispering wind
And let your heart be filled with joy

What is your problem? By responding to an offensive article I am
starting a tempest? The only emails I received regarding this matter
were from people who wanted to respond to the article as well. As far as
the postings last year, mine referred to parents who classified their
children as ADHD simply because they were not compliant to their eevery
whim, not being annoyed by children truly afflicted with the disorder.
You really need to read more closely and have the courage to sign your
own name instead of sending anonymous messages. Perhaps you should pay
closer attention and not waste your time annoying people - that is truly
not the purpose of this forum.

The box is a great idea. I have a big box covered with gold paper and
pictures of books on it, and before each story or activity, I will say this
rhyme:
In my box is a big surprise, it's right here before our very eyes. I'll open
it up and take a look-- Oh, look, it's a (Bill Martin story book) or
whatever it is. Even my school age kids love the box, and it keeps things
out of the way and in the order I want to use them. I can pack my box ahead
of time and know no one is going to bother my things.

A few days ago, I posted a personal stumper, asking about a TV show I
remembered from my childhood. I thought it was call The Electric
Company. Many, many thanks to Jeri, Kelly and Kifflie, who responded
with "The Funny Company." I'm amazed that you remembered most of the
words to the theme song! I found more information about the show at
www.yesterdayland.com. It was a
b&w cartoon short, and began in 1963. It
was part of an effort to have more educational programming for children.
I can rest easier now.
