I've not had a problem with the 2001 posters. This year, I ordered the
fantastic flag-
themed posters. I put them up on our ten-panel bulletin board, with color
photocopies of book jackets listed on the posters as challenged. I also
printed the
BBW citation for each title on flag-themed paper. One of the titles I
chose
to display
was---The Bible. I thought it would be good balance to show that ANY book
can be
singled out for censorship and for a variety of reasons. One of my very
conservative
Christian home-school moms was OUTRAGED that I had put the Bible up on the
bulletin board. After all, she stated, we would not want any children to
think that
there might be REASONS to question/challenge the Bible, and that some people
think that the book is worthy of challenge. So in essense, I had a
challenge of a

Patron is looking for a picture book about friendship that
features ONLY girls. She wants to use it for her brownie troop.
We've given her a couple of poetry books that celebrate
friendship, Hattie Rabbit (which was stretching it quite a bit),
Poppy and Ella, Amanda Pig, Camper of the Week, Best Friends, and
the American Girls Care and Keeping of Friends. None of these is
quite what she wants. Any suggestions. Help!

Hi, I have a patron who remembers a book from at least 15-20 years ago
about a rabbit that will only eat hamburgers and eventually turns into
one! It was not a story in a collection; might have been an easy
reader. She got it/read it in her school not from the library. Any
brainstorms from your end would be most appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hi! Sorry if this has been asked before...
One of our patrons was looking for a book she thinks is called The Leaf Man.
She says it is about leaf people who save an older lady (her words). It's
probably a picture book as she read it when she was "really little"-
she's
11 now. :-)
Any ideas on what she's looking for and if any libraries still have it?

Thank you for your responses. My question about the Plath allusion to the
fairy tale w/ flying box was answered by Jean Franklin, children's
librarian in Algonquin Illinois. The story is called "The Reel
Fairies" by Mrs. (Mary) Molesworth, 1842-1921 and is in a book titled
"Stories by Mrs. Molesworth, pub'd by Duffield & Co., NY, 1922 w/ color

develop a core collection of Spanish juvenile titles, mainly picture

"babies" as subjects

Hi All,
I wanted to invite all of the subscribers to this list to come on vacation
with the Racine Public Library next summer. Our library is sponsoring a
trip to Vienna, Budapest and Prague from June 1-11, 2003, and we would be
delighted if other librarians could join us.
It is a fully guided tour, everything (hotels, airfare, transfers) is
included in the price, which is a reasonable $2159/person. The trip is
going to be both exciting and educational.
If you would like more information sent to you regarding the itinerary or
other questions please send a note to Jill Hanson at
jhanson7@racinelib.lib.wi.us
Thanks, and hope to hear from you soon.

I have always viewed Banned Books Week as an awareness

watchful in guarding our basic civil rights, including
the freedom to read. We are not promoting or
recommending any books specifically we are only trying
to make people aware of the need for vigilance.

Hi everyone,
We had a patron come in looking for what she called the "Japanese Harry
Potter". It seems that she read an article in some magazine recently
(she
can't remember which one) talking about a book (or possibly series),
written by a Japanese woman about a girl who had magical adventures like
Harry Potter. Has anyone out there read the article and remember the
title/author? Various internet searches (and magazine database searches
for
book reviews) have come up empty-handed.

We did a Clifford Party last spring and it was a great success. We
started the program with a Clifford story, then moved on to Clifford
trivia questions, did a Clifford chant which a couple of us here at the
library wrote and then were visited by Clifford. Scholastic Books has a
wonderful Clifford costume they will send to your library at no cost at
all (even the return postage is paid for). The biggest problem is
finding a person willing to don it! After Clifford visited with the
children they all made a Clifford craft, drank red punch and ate
cookies topped with red sprinkles. For the Clifford craft we made an
origami style dog head by taking a piece of red paper about 9 inches
square and folded diagonally to form a triangle. Then the two long long
points formed by the diagonal were folded down to make ears. Google
eyes were added and a black pompom made the nose. It was cute and easy
for all ages. Check Scholastic's web site because they have lots of
good ideas for activities. Hope your program is as successful as ours
was.

Hi,
I trace a pattern for ears (a U shape with the top tapered in a
little) on red construction paper that has been folded in half. This
way they cut once but get two ears. Then I have my Kindergarteners cut
the traced pattern for the ears. With help from my volunteers they
staple the ears to a head band. The children put the headband on and I
give them a black 3/4" dot for the nose. When I couldn't find black
dots I just colored white ones black. They loved walking around as a
member of Clifford's family.

Hi Melissa,
We had a Clifford party last year and it was a lot of fun.
Here are some of the activities/decorations we incorporated:
Clifford tablecloths from the party store interspersed with plain red,
white and yellow table coverings.
Red plastic cups
Red punch (hawaiian punch with 7-up)
"Doggie Kibble" (cocoa puffs served in cups)
Murals - large tagboard images of clifford that had been blown up on
the overhead projector. Kids then filled in the images with small
squares of red tissue paper
Clifford Raffle - We borrowed the scholastic clifford costume and they
also sent us several packages of "Clifford Crayons." We also
bought
about a dozen Clifford books to raffle off.
Clifford display - display of Clifford books and videos to check out
Games:
Clifford Says (simon says) substituted with doggy activities ex.
Clifford says roll over, stand on your hind legs, bark, howl at the
moon, shake paws, etc.
Red Rover - Red rover, red rover, send _______ on over. Kids are
divided into two lines and as they are called over they try to break
the line. If they can't break the line, they grab hands and join the
line.
Dog Food Lap - put out bowls of pudding and have kids lap up the
pudding using only their tongues - no hands allowed. (just about 2 tbsp
of pudding in each bowl works fine for this game - don't need a lot)
Crafts:
Dog puppets - ellison cut-out of large dog, add mini star stickers for
a dog collar and glue on craft stick to make into a puppet.
Dog ears - strips of construction paper for a headband, large red ears
glued to the sides for Clifford
Treat Bags - a number of wonderful clifford handouts and treat bags can
be found here (we used the treat bags)
http://www.dltk-teach.com/books/clifford/index.html
Good luck and have fun!
Molly Warren
We just had a Clifford Party this week. We read several stories, sang
BINGO, and had 2 crafts and a game.
For the puppet, we used a picture of Clifford's face, which we
downloaded from http://www.dltk-teach.com/books/clifford/index.html.
We attached the face to the top of the bag, a tail on the back, and had
the children color the bag red. For the dog ear hats, we used the
pattern from http://www.kidsdomain.com/craft/cliffordhat1.html.
We
also played "pin the bone on Clifford", and handed out a packet with
coloring sheets and dot to dot games.
I hope this helps! If you need more details, let me know.

How about hiding rubber balls or bones (paper or dog biscuits) around
the room for them to find. I have also hidden rubber balls in a box of
sand that "Clifford buried" then have each child dig for a ball.
Either
one at a time or make it into a relay race. I then let them keep the
ball. Also get the tiny puppy dog biscuits and fill a jar for a guess
how many game. We have made Clifford puppets by using a red plastic cup
upside down. Glue on red ears, I used sticky backed felt to put on a
nose and eyes. Draw on a mouth if you wish but you have to use a
permanent marker to get it to stay on the plastic. They turn out cute
though.

Melissa,
We had a Clifford Party last year. We obtained a Clifford costume free
from Scholastic, read some Clifford stories, saw a Clifford video,
played "pin the bone" on Clifford, made a Clifford paper-bag
puppet and had cupcakes and juice. We gave out Clifford stickers,
coloring sheets and small packs of crayons. We left some time 15-20
mins. for photo-ops. The kids had a wonderful time and so did we!

Melissa:
I just did a Clifford program on 9/18 for 3-5 year olds. I found the
best resource to be the Scholastic web site. Here's what I planned.
Children entered and made Clifford headbands. These were red
construction paper strips with ears they cut out and moms stapled.
Then I read Clifford books and did a Clifford Drawing story that I
adapted from a Draw and Tell book.
I planned the following games:
Puppy, puppy, dog (same as duck duck, goose)
Doggie Doggie where's your bone
Clifford says (same as Simon says)
I did not do the first two games because I had 75 children and things
were too wild.
We also made a Clifford cup. I found this on the internet and adapted
it.
You turn a paper or styrofoam cup upside down, then cover it with red
paper. Then you glue two red ears to the former bottom- which is now the
top. Add wiggly eyes and a black pom pom for the nose. Then draw a face.
It was a fun program. You might want to try to get a Clifford costume
from the Scholastic book fair folks- we had done that for NationaL
Library Week and that was very popular too.

communities. (I'm a library science student currently volunteering with
kids
at an elementary school library.)

Hi Pubyacers,
My husband and I are becoming puppy-raisers for Guide Dogs of
America---getting our first pup in several weeks. She will be accompanying
me to work quite often, so the staff here has designed a nice brochure
explaining the program, a little about guide dogs etc. I'm including a
book
list of both fiction and non-fiction titles for the kids who might want to
read more about this subject. Non-fiction isn't a problem, but I'm not
thrilled with the fiction list. I have the obvious...Trouble with Tuck,
Tuck Triumphant, Follow My Leader, Rugby and Rosie, Looking Out for Sarah.
Have checked A-Zoo, Beyond Picture Books and Amazon (lots of titles are
out
of print!) and I plan to buy and include Teacher's Pet from the Wild at
Heart series by Laurie Halse Anderson. Does anyone else know of others I
may be forgetting or not finding? Thanks very much for any help...
