Yaccers,
I am sure you all have favorite flannelboard/feltboard pattern books in
your professional collection. Would you please share the titles of your
favorite(s)? We need a new one...the two in our collection...are older than
my two assistant children's librarians!!!! I will gladly compile the list

Laura-
There is a site that you download software to make maps.
These can
be one page to eight pages wide. The link is
http://www.yourchildlearns.com/owlmouse.htm
Scroll down the page to MegaMaps. There are other learning
software
on the site also. Most of it is free but be carefull it does have some
dead links.

For this year's Summer Reading Program, many of the libraries in our
area are using the Upstart theme "Catch a Dragon by the Tale" focusing
on fairytales and medieval fantasies (frogs, unicorns, dragons, knights
in shining armor and damsels in distress), along with a hint of H.
Potter & Lord of the Rings. We are, of course, looking for suggestions
for crafts, games, coloring sheets and booklists. If you have a manual
you'd be willing to share that would be tremendous!
Thanks, in advance for your help.

Thanks for the quick response and suggestions to replce Totline magazine.

Also mentioned were Copycats and Family Fun.
Sorry if I misled people about Kidstuff. We are not receiving current

Hi,
Here's a stumper: A patron is looking for a book she knew as a young
child (probably mid to late '70's era)to share with her 5 year-old. It is
about a young boy who won't go to school until he is served "creamed
worms on toast". Several family members are disgusted and refuse to comply
with the request. Finally grandpa(?) finds the worms, serves them to the
boy, and the boy goes on to school. Anything sound familiar?
Thanks in advance,
Susan

Thanks for all the responses to this question; about
half of the libraries in my library system had Fever
in the J section, which is what threw me off. Only
one otherr library had Soldier Boys. Most of you who
responded have both in the YA collection, which is
where I thought they would go (and who I selected them
for). Interesting, Fever 1973 is nominated for our
state children's literature award, the Rebecca Caudill
Award, which is open to children in grades 4-8 (they
vote on the winner). They do this sometimes - get a
book on there that's really for the "higher end" kids.
Thanks again for your response!

Hi everyone -
A patron vaguely remembers a science fiction book she read as a kid back in
the 50s. It's about twin boys - one goes to space, one stays on earth.
The
one who stays here ages, the other one doesn't. She didn't think it was
any
of the Mushroom Planet books by Eleanor Cameron. We checked our computer
database under various keywords (twins, space travel, relativity, etc.) - to
no avail. Also checked sci-fi category in Best Books for Children, and did
not find anything there either.
Does anyone have a clue? Please email me if you do. Thank you!!

I have a general question to ask all you Pubyacers. When I started out as =
a librarian, we always read the novels before we ordered them. These days, =
I just see the books as they come into the library - I don't see them, I =
don't order them, I just get them.
Consequently, I try to read every novel that comes in, before I put it =
out. Oh, not every series titles, of course, although I do dip into those
=
when I have time, but all the others. Occassionally I find one that might =
belong better in the teen section, but mostly it is so that I know my =
collection, so that I can try to give "the right book to the right child =
at the right time". And also, so I can alert the book selectors when they =
have ordered a real lemon, or let other librarians know when my branch has =
gotten a great book that they might want to order. (Frindle was like that =
when it first came out)
How many others do this? How many feel that I am going way overboard? It =
is true, I seldom have time to read adult novels, but since some of the =
best writing can be found in kids' books, I don't mind. Comments? =
Discussion?

Hi folks,
I'm stumped. I've tried keyword searches in our catalog but I'm
having no luck. Perhaps one of you will remember a book our
patron read about six years ago. She says she listened to the
cassette version while reading the book and all she remembers is
that it is about a boy who travels through time with a dog. One
of the chapters is about how words are made and in the chapter the
boy is talking to a king and he says, "It's on the tip of my
tongue." The illustration shows the boy with his mouth open and a
jumble of letters are rolling out of his mouth in a cartoon-like
bubble. That's all she remembers. I thought maybe it was Daniel
Pinkwater's Borgel, but she is sure that isn't it. Any ideas?

Here's another stumper for the collective brain. Thanks in advance for
your assistance!
Patron's husband read the book in early junior high, and graduated in 1986,
so it was published by late 70's, though wife thinks it could have been
published as early as the late 60's.
It has no illustrations, was a paperback titled The Monster Who Wouldn't
Die (to the best of his recollection). Cover showed a wolf-type creature
up on its hind legs, perhaps a wolfman? The story took place in a mountain
range, young kids are camping, and (he remembers) this creature rips
someone's heart out (!).
The wife is anxious to find it again as her husband says this is the book
that got him interested in reading. He'd like to read it again for
sentimental reasons.
I've tried the usual sources (even checked for The Monster Who Would Not
Die) with no luck. If this sounds familiar, please respond off list.
Many thanks!

Jennifer,
Is kidstuff still publishing? I sometimes use Mailbox for Preschool.
there
are also several books out just for storytimes:
Fiddle-Dee-Dee by Jill Andrews and Linda Bair
Triple Scoops: Storytimes About Things Kids Like, compiled by Carol Elbert
for the Iowa Library Association
Toddle On Over: Developing Infant & Toddler Literature Programs by Robin
