Hi,
I am planning a "holiday craft event" in November for 6-12 year old.
Does anyone out there have any fun holiday (esp. Thanksgiving) crafts
for this age group?
Thank you1

You didn't give us an e-mail address to respond. Also, I would
urge you not to think each storytime needs a craft.

I am a fairly new subscriber to PUBYAC, and this is my
first posting so please excuse me if this topic has
been discussed before. My Children's Department staff
would like to host a scavenger hunt but they have no
idea where to begin. Does anyone have any tips, know
of any great websites or books that would give us some
ideas? Thanks for your help!

Pamela,
I made feathered ducks with the same age group. I found a cute picture of
a
duck on the Internet (if you want me to fax it let me know) and gave the
kids glue sticks, crayons and yellow feathers. We then glued the finished
product on a popsicle stick (puppet) or a magnet. Although I thought the
craft was pretty basic, the kids loved it! (Some even wanted colored
feathers.)

Our system has never had registration for storytime. It's a completely =
drop in situation, but we have good attendance. Our storytimes go year =
round with only a few breaks in programming so there is consistency. At my =
branch we offer 5 storytimes a week for various age groups, with the same =

Sat AM storytimes unless I am on vacation in which case I can get a sub or =

Lisa,
Maybe you could "stuff" them in some way for a Thanksgiving turkey and
paint. My other idea would again be to fill (perhaps with air) paint white
(turn upside down) and you have Santa's beard. good luck!

Hi All,
My library system's policy is to issue cards to a child of any age with a
parental signature. (May I get a card for my daughter Jenny who is due on
January 5?) However, my personal opinion is this: One of the most
important things to consider when issuing/applying for a libary card is
the responsibility that goes along with the priveledge. Even some adults
do
not take the priveledge of borrowing libary materials seriously. They
don't even acknowledge that keeping libary materials indefinately is
stealing! I think it is important that a child understands all of the
implications of having a library card before obtaining one. I was
issued my first card in the second grade and my daughter can wait until then
as
well.
Thanks for letting me vent!
Susan

One of my former co-workers had duck feet and a bill on yellow paper that
the kids colored and cut out to wear. The bill was sort of a crown that
fit over their heads and stuck out. Sorry, that isn't much help but it may
give you an idea.
Only thing I thought of on my own was to take a coloring page of a duck and
let the kids glue on feathers--or use double-stick tape. Just an idea!

I am looking for a journal which has articles on children's and teens'
public library services, plus reviews for those levels too. I'm getting
School Library Journal at the moment, and that's the sort of thing I'd like,
but with a public library focus. If I have to, I'll get 2 titles, one with
reviews (I've heard that Booklist is good) and one on services, issues, etc.
Can anyone recommend some titles, please?

I compiled a few songs/rhymes for a Mommy and Me class. The class never ran
so I don't know how they work in a group but my toddler loves them!
I got
them from various Totline issues. Here goes:
Four Dinosaurs Stomp (Sarah's favorite!) - puppet use suggested in mag
Four dinosaurs standing in a row;
The green one said, "I think I'll go,"
And he walked away so very slow,
Stomp, stomp, stomp.
Three dinosaurs standing in a row;
The brown one said, "I think I'll go,"
And he walked away so very slow,
Stomp, stomp, stomp.
Two dinosaurs standing in a row;
The yellow one said, "I think I'll go,"
And he walked away so very slow,
Stomp, stomp, stomp.
One blue dinosaur standing all alone;
He said to himself, "I think I'll go,"
And he walked away so very slow,
Stomp, stomp, stomp.
Dinosaurs, They Had Fun
Dinosaurs, they had fun.
They made footprints one by one.
With a boom, boom, boom,
And a stomp, stomp, stomp,
They all marched around the swamp!
Baby Dino
Baby dino, little baby dino,
Baby dino, you are growing up!
You were once so very small,
Now you're 45 feet tall.
Very small, very small,
Really tall, really tall.
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.

Baby dino, you are growing up!
Hope these halp.

Thank you to Carolyn Berg who suggested Onions and Garlic: An Old Tale
by Eric Kimmel for the following stumper:
"A patron is looking for a Russian folktale about garlic soup. There
seems to be a grandparent figure involved. It's not Stone Soup."
We haven't had a chance to speak to the patron yet, but we are hoping
this is what she was looking for!

I already asked the patron if the story was "The Amazing Bone" by =

Hello everyone,
And I do mean everyone. I want to thank all of you for your help with my
question concerning the 6 year old reading at the 10th grade level. I had
over 50 responses! You folks are wonderful. I am in the process of
getting
the answers formatted for the mother so that she is able to easily and
quickly read it and use it as a check list. When I have that finished, I
will post the 'Sarah's List of Good Books to Read' on PUBYAC.
In the meantime, some of the titles that came up over and over were the
Redwall Series, any of the Newbery Winners, most of the older classics (they
were much gentler than today's fare), and the Chronicles of Narnia. That's
the short answer, I'll have the long answer posted in a few days.
Thanks again to a great bunch of people!
