Hi all,
What's the word on the street in regards to these two sets of books/authors
from Crabtree Publishing:
Lands, Peoples and Cultures
Bobbie Kalman books (Colonial People, Historic Communities, etc.)?
Anyone love them? Anyone hate them?
Let me know off-list.
TIA,
Katrina

Thank you so much to the wonderful stumper brains! The answer to the
stumper about the two princes who couldn't stop fighting over their toys
is Just-Alike Princes by Pauline Palmer Meek.

Does anyone out there in the wonderful Pubyac universe know the origin or
history of the rhyme/song "Ten Little Indians"? A college
student was
asking about this and we have not been able to find anything in any of the
usual sources. Any help you could give us would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Chris

I'm looking for a book that a patron recalls from the late 70's -early
to mid 80s. A hen (chicken? rooster?) has a problem with a giant
(perhaps he wants to eat her eggs) and part of her retaliation
includes sending the giant little poems. The one the patron
remembers best goes: "Violets are blue, roses are red. The giant
smells bad and has holes in his head."
If this rings a bell for anyone, please send a reply off-list to
theresam@ocln.org.
Thanks,

Thanks to the many, many people who answered this stumper for me:
A female patron stumped me with this one the other day. A picture book,
published not too long ago, but also not too recently. Wooden people live
together in a village. They put dots on each other if they don't like them.
She thinks there may also have been a carpenter who created these wooden
people. She didn't have much more to give me beyond that.
The answer is overwhelmingly "You Are Special" by Max Lucado. You all
are
the best!

Subject: Thanks for Historical Fiction
Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2003 12:39:06 CST
I would like to say thank you for everyone who gave me ideas on historical
fiction. I had asked because my patron felt sure that her teacher
said it
could not be about a person or time period. The time period is
what threw
me. As many of you said, historical fiction doesn't have to be based on a
person but IS based on a time period. I had shown them the American Girl
boojs, the Dear America books and the books by Rinaldi but she said they
were not what she wsa looking for.
Anyways, thanks for your help and input. There are far to many to name
each
of you individually so thanks to all who responded.

Thanks to Susan Marston for a quick response with the answer to the second
stumper - No Problem, by Eileen Browne
2) A picture book with endpapers or title page that looks like a blueprint;
animals get a package with building materials and a blueprint; they don't
read the directions and just build something; they keep rebuilding it and
are never quite sure what it is they've built. Possible recurring phrase
of
"Not a problem" or "No problem".

interested.

What Would Joey Do? by Jack Gantos
The Hideout by Peg Kehret
Surviving the Applewhites by Stephanie S. Tolan
Lone Wolf by Kristine L. Franklin
Moose Tracks by Mary Casanova
Wolf Shadows by Mary Casanova

Thank you to everyone who sent me suggestions for an April Fool's Day
storytime. I don't know who sent the ideas--my husband kindly deleted my
emails before I had a chance to send thank yous. There is a wonderful
storytime attached--thank you to the person who sent it. Other ideas were:
have the children come to storytime wearing clothes backwards
read any books by Dav Pilkey or Colin MacNaughton
Silly Craft--fill an ice tray with various items--cotton balls, pasta
shapes, buttons, cut-up ribbons, straws, or yarn, etc. Have the children
glue them into silly shapes.
Also, I received a huge amount of teeth/dentist storytime ideas, including
several great attachments. I think it is too much to post to the listserv.
I have now a file and will send it directly to anyone who wants it. Just
email me at bkworm@mindspring.com.
Thanks! Y'all are great!
