Also, we did a Medieval Fair one year for summer reading. We invited a
knight in armor to talk, invited members of the Society of Creative
Anachronisms to do sword fights, had a strolling musician, had a station
with hair wraps and braiding, face painting, sidewalk chalk art,
calligraphy, and a couple games we made with appliance boxes... fishing in
the castle moat and feed the dragon. Refreshments included dragon toes,
love knots, castle rubble and dragon's blood punch. Details are in 101+
Teen Programs that Work. The programs was for families. The teens
helped
with games and refreshments, face painting and hair wraps.

Hi,
I have a patron looking for a book that she believes is on an early
elementary school reading level (1st and 2nd) about:
A young boy who has a crush on his teacher who is getting married. The
teacher leaves for a few weeks (her honeymoon?) and when she returns she
explains to the young boy who is upset that he will understand someday
when he is older (the concept of love and marriage?).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I had the school nurse come and read How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon by
Yolen. It's not about nurses just about being sick. Then she went step by
step through what happens if they get sick at school. How she would call
their mom and know how to reach other people if mom wasn't home. One child
very seriously asked her if she had band-aids and she assured them she had
lots and lots of band-aids.

>From a patron:
"It was probably in the children's section, but it was a long chapter book.
I remember a girl transported (or who stumbled upon) another world. In this
world were various animal-like creatures fighting against some bad
creatures. She helps the good creatures win. One of these good creatures was
similar to a huge ant,and in the last battle this ant sacrificed himself to
save the day. After that (this I remember the best, the markings on the moon
were in the shape of an ant, leaping over something, as he had done in the
battle.
Does anyone there remember this book? It was in the early 1970's, I think. I
have submitted it to the BookStumper (a great website!), but I have not
found it yet."

Hello all,
Many thanks to all of you who responded to tell me that Frosty the Snowman's
girlfriend was named "Crystal." Judging by how many people
responded, my
patron and I were the only ones who didn't know this! Many thanks!

Hello,
I am passing along a stumper from one of my colleagues. Her 90-year-old
mother remembers a children's book about a very large dog, with very
large eyes. The dog's name is Garibaldi. One of the crowning lines she
recalls is "all that glitters is not gold."=20
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I am looking for fiction books that realistically portray relationships
between older adults and children or teens. Children's nonfiction that
describes the feelings of older adults would also be helpful. I will be most
grateful for suggestions,and compile a list of responses.

We are looking for the title (and author name) of a book for a library user.
It was possibly written 15+ years ago, and it is about a boy who goes
through a tunnel into another world - where they celebrate "death day"
not
birthdays. Please contact me at the following email address if you know the
title and/or author.

I would greatly appreciate hearing suggestions
from the great collective brain regarding
recommended books for children (ages 5-7
especially) about the issue of racism, in
particular books that are good starting points
for discussion. Our new library collection has a
number of books on the subject (such as The Other
Side, Freedom Summer, Sister Anne's Hands, etc.)
but most of them seem to present situations in
the 1960s, and we'd like to make sure we have
books that make it clear that racism
(unfortunately) still exists today.
Thanks in advance for your help!
