I am interested in how other libraies handle Beginning Readers that are
nonfiction. Do you put them in with nonfiction or Beginning Reader
and why?
Also if you are in a system and everyone does not want them in the same
location is it possible to catalogue them in separate sections?

Has anyone attempted to change their Beanie Babies to finger puppets? Our
branch recently had more than 100 Ty Beanie Babies donated and we'd like to
convert some of them to use during storytime. Please reply to:
amy.wilson@nashville.gov and I
will compile a list and post at a later date.

They
are exposed to more books, in a safe place and doing safe stuff.

Thanks to everyone who knew the book about the bells not ringing for a long
time was
Why the chimes rang by Raymond Macdonald Alden
My patron was so excited to have the information she remembers the book from
childhood and that her family read it every year (to the point she was tired
of it) but age and wisdom bring you home and she is so happy to know what
the book is.
Thanks again and happy holiday to everyone. May all your wishes for the new

Subject: Mother Goose compilation (long)
Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2002 10:30:40 CST
Hi there!
Thanks to Karen, Anne F., the other Anne F., Larissa, Chandra, Laura and
Julie Ann for your awesome Mother Goose Time rhymes and songs.
I will soon be adding many of your suggestions to our Mother Goose Time
rhyme booklet!
Here is a list of the responses that I received:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I love the song "Wake up Toes" by Joanie Bartels (on MORNING MAGIC
cassette). Even the little ones not walking can have their toes (and
other body parts) wiggled by mom.
Also, another Bartels song "Bubble Bath" (BATHTIME MAGIC) is fun
to
blow bubbles to and have the toddlers chase the bubbles.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My favorite songs:
"If you're happy and you know it"
"Frere Jaques"
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star"
"Here's a ball for baby"
"Mr. Sun"
"6 little ducks"
"I'm a little teapot"
I'm sure these are all standards at baby storytime. I would like to
add some new ones to my repetoire and look forward to your
list of responses.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm assuming you use the "usuals:"
-Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
-The Wheels on the Bus
-If You're Happy and You Know It
-The Itsy Bitsy Spider
etc.
But do you ever do "lap rides?" They're so much fun,
and a good bit of exercise for the moms/dads.
I love to throw one in every once in a while. Here
are my two favorites (with instructions). I'd love to
see your compiled list when you've gathered them all!
:) Larissa
-------------------------------------------
"The Mighty Duke of York"
(do you know this tune? I wish I could sing it for
you!)
(Adult's legs straight out,
slightly bent.
Child sits on or just below adult's knees. Bouncing
to the rhythm for first 2 lines.)
The mighty duke of york
He had ten-thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
(Alternate knees up and down, as if
marching
-progressively higher. Child will move side to side!)
And marched them down again
(Repeat above, but back down to the
ground.)
And when you're up you're up
(quickly bend knees to move child up
- sound
effects work great at the end of this line!
Zzzzooop!)
And when you're down you're down
(quickly bend knees to move child
down.
Reverse sound effect)
And when you're only half-way up
(bend knees to move child half-way
up)
You're neither up
(bend knees to move child up)
Nor down.
(bend knees to move child down)
--------------------------------------------
Hanky-Panky (what my neice calls it!)
(Adult's legs straight out, slightly
bent.
Child sits on or just below adult's knees. Bouncing
fast to the rhythm for first 2 lines.)
Down by the banks of the hanky-panky
Where the bull frogs jump from bank to bank
(On "bank to bank," swing
knees to the left
and then to the right)
They go oops
(bend knees to move child up)
Opps
(bend knees to move child down)
Belly-Flops..... (drag this line out to allow for
motion)
(gently, flip child over, so they
belly-flop
on your collapsed, outstretched legs)
One missed the lilly pad and went
(fast bouncing again, on
"went" raise knees to
move child up)
Ker-plop!
(child gently lands on the floor
between the
adult's legs)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<<infant rhymes.doc>> Awesome mother goose time rhymes are
attached here!
[Moderator: Sorry--attachments don't make it through the Listproc
software.]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Head Shoulder, Knees and Toes,
Wheels on the Bus (with actions, of course)
What a miracle by Hap Palmer (on his Peek-a-boo CD)
Itsy Bitsy (or Teensy Weensy) Spider
Old Macdonald had a farm
I always start with Hap Palmer's "So Happy You're Here" and go around
and
great each child (and parent)
Others that are fun:
Choo Choo Song (from Early Ears 1)
With my little hands (from Diaper Gym)
Raffi's "Down by the Bay" and "Bumping Up and Down" and
"Brush Your Teeth"
Hope these help--I love using songs in my Baby Lap Sit (especially What a
Miracle, where on the chorus I encourage the kids and parents to dance!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We do: The Noble Duke of York
The more we get together (we use a big bouncing ball and say each of the
kids names after the first stanza.
Raffi's The Wheels on the Bus
A Sailor Went to See
5 in a bed
Shake your sillies out (Raffi)
Rainbow song
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We use a lot of the tracks from the Kimbo recordings Baby Face and Good
Morning Exercises (these for the 12-24 months).

Thanks so much to all of you who took the time to respond to my stumper.
Based on the responses and the description on Amazon, we believe the
book is _The Plane_ by Monique Felix.
Here is the original stumper:
She remembers reading a picture book in a children's lit class about a
mouse who is trying to escape from the book. In the end, the mouse
makes a paper airplane and escapes. She took the class in '95. Any
suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

When trying to determine the appropriate section (e.g. "Young Teen"
vs."YA")
for a series you're considering, or a new book by an author who spans both
the juvie and YA market, what info-gathering methods do you use to discern
who in YOUR COMMUNITY is actually reading a particular series or author? Do
you ever put out questionnaires? If so, have you had a good response? Has
anyone ever felt comfortable with viewing the item record to see what age
the item is appealing to?

Any ideas? Many thanks.

some fiction that I can read chapters from every week. So far I have

Dear Colleagues:
Would anyone out there have a lead on the following stumper?
An adult patron would like to purchase a copy of the book as a
Christmas gift for her son; any information is welcome, please. I
have checked all of the different variations of the _Best Books_
and _What Do I Read Next?_ series available here as well as a YA
fantasy/sci fi reference.
The patron does not recall anything about the title, author, or
physical description of the book. She thinks it might be a series
of 3 or so books. She is certain it is a YA title, probably
fantasy, maybe science fiction.
She remembers the following story elements:
*a teenage girl has special powers she is unaware of
*the girl's male compatriot (boyfriend? friend?) witnesses his
father being killed by an organized crime group
*this criminal group is after the two teens
*a lady living across the hall from the girl ushers the pair
through a portal into another world
*this different world has different colors of kingdoms (Green
Kingdom, Gray Kingdom are specificallly recalled; DK total # or
colors of kingdoms)
*the world has "an above-castle life and a below-castle life";
these groups are in class conflict and war with each other
*there is a beautiful but evil princess involved
*there is a bad guy named Joe
Please reply off-list. Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for the quick responses regarding books
depicting a girl left out of a friendship of three.
Here are the responses:
Winnie Dancing On Her Own is about a threesome where
one is left out. It's a juvenile intermediate.
Lisa Jahn-Clough's 2001 "Simon and Molly plus Hester"
Simon and
Molly are friends when Hester moves to the
neighborhood she feels left
out but molly and hester become friends and Simon
feels left out
eventually they all become friends.
these titles are under the heading ' peer pressure,
being left out'
The Brand New Kid by Katie Couric;
Spotty by H. A. Rey;
Elmer by David McKee;
A differnet tune by Bruce Witty
Henry & Amy (right-way-round & upside-down) by Stephen
Michael King;
Different just like me by Lori Mitchell;
Stephanie's ponytail by Robert Munsch;
Make a wish, Molly by Barbara Cohen;
The Talking Eggs by Robert San Souci;
Potato Man by Megan McDonald; and
Tacky the penguin by Helen Lester
The only one I could think of is Anna Grossnickle
Hines "Tell Me Your
Best
Thing" about a friendship betrayed when a girl tells
her best friend an
embarrassing secret and the best friend tells it to
some other girls to
get in good with them. It is a novel, but rather short
and easy for a
novel. (I can think of another one that is for about
6th grade &
up--2nd
grade is rather early for that kind of behavior to
surface.) If she
reads
well, or has someone who reads to her, it might work.
Good luck.
Recently I posted a question to Pubyackers asking for
books about
Kindergarten cliques or clubs that exclude children.
I received the following titles:
Horace and Morris but Mostly Dolores
How to be a friend by Marc Brown
The Berenstain Bears and the In-crowd
Sneetches by Dr. Seuss
Friendliness by Lucia Raatma
and for adults You can't say you can't play by Vivian
Paley
Thanks for all the help!

The Wells County Public Library is again hosting two Mock Caldecott
sessions. There are several openings in the Thursday, January 23rd
session.
If you are interested in receiving a brochure about this interesting and
educational experience, contact Susan Dailey at the email address below.
For only $15, participants get to spend a day previewing and discussing some
of the best picture books of 2002. The registration fee also covers a
continental breakfast and lunch. (A delicious and important facet of the

I recently got in a couple of different series of non-fiction beginner
reader books. I decided to put them with the beginner reader books instead
of the non-fiction. There is no written rule that says beginner readers
need to be fiction only. I think the children would enjoy reading
non-fiction as well as fiction. Also it introduces the beginner reader to
non-fiction books that they will need later on when they are doing school
reports.

I am interested in how other libraies handle Beginning Readers that are
nonfiction. Do you put them in with nonfiction or Beginning Reader
and why?
Also if you are in a system and everyone does not want them in the same
location is it possible to catalogue them in separate sections?
