I am going to do a "Lettin' Loose with Dr. Seuss" storytime program at
a
local preschool. What I would like to know is what type of ideas you have
found succesful for this age group?

Collective brain,
Perhaps you can aid me. I do a 6 week long
non-traditional storytime for 13-35 months. I use many
action rhymes and I try to find fun games for the
toddlers to play. Thing is, I'm running out of games.
I have exhausted the internet. Used as many Mailbox
books as I could find and read any book that seemed
even remotely close to the topic.
Do you know of any other place I could look? Any and
all help is greatly appreciated

I have had someone asking if I could identify a book from the following
description, and since I have no idea what it might be I am turning to
PUBYAC for help.
This is some of the text from a picture book probably from the 50's (or
older) that included a menu based on children's book characters
Mad Hatter's Tea
Peter Rabbit's Salad
A Wakening Celebration of Roast Spiced Children from Sleeping Beauty
Wicked Queen's poison from Snow White
Heidi Toasted Cheese Sandwiches
Rumpelstiltskin's Banana Bread
and
Today do I break, Tomorrow I brew
She also said it had a wine colored cover and was about 6" X 10"
in
height.

I made a Harry Potter bingo game earlier this year. Basically, I copied a
grid, photocopied many (about 35) Harry Potter related images and pasted
them in various patterns on the grid. Then I copied the grids to use as
the
boards. It was extremely time consuming, but now I have about 30 different
boards to use over and over again. I guess that's not a quick fix, but it
might help. I'd be happy to mail you a copy of some of the boards.
Since
it was all cut and paste, the boards aren't saved on a computer I
wouldin't
be able to e-mai them. E-mail me personally if you would like the boards
sent in the "regular" mail.

Actually, Dragon Ball Z, the videos & books, have been around for 5-8
years in California. From Japanese anime.
They were very popular with boys grades 5 - 8. The books are mostly about
fights of good & evil, searches for tokens &
people,very predictable plots with no depth, basically dark cartoons with
some humor. Yet quirky characters & illustrations make the
series far
different than anything produced here.
A good acquisition only if you have plenty of $$, a group of anime fans,
routinely purchase & circulate lots of comics.

"I am trying to locate a story which may not exist as a book...but
maybe it does. It is a traditional story passed down by word of mouth.
The gist is that parents decide to leave their house to their child who
can best fill it up. One fills it with hay, one with farm animals ( I
think it was pigs) and the last one fills it with music. The last child
succeeds in filling every nook and cranny and wins the house."

Hello- saw your posting & thought I'd answer. I've been going to one
of
the schools this week & found that _Roller Coaster_ by M. Frazee was a
winner. It is a very short story about a little girl going on a coaster
for the first time. The kids loved it! (I am reading during their
library pd. so I don't have much time with them.) I guess this book
wouldn't work if your children don't live near an amusement park or visit
fairs....

Hi Jennifer~
With lower grades, I have successfully used "Pig, Pigger, &
Piggest," by
Rick Walton; any of the "Dumb Bunnies" books by Dav Pilkey; and other
Dav
Pilkey titles such as "Kat Kong," "Dogzilla," and "Dog
Breath." Folktales
work well with 3-4 grades, such as "Anansi & the Moss-Covered
Rock" by
Eric Kimmel. I don't usually read to the upper grades; just do booktalks.
But you might try reading some short-ish urban legend stories with the
upper grades.

Hi Jen -
Last year, this was a new book, and I read it at just about every school
visit I did.
A Fine, Fine School by Sharon Creech.
The principal is sooooo proud of his school (a fine, fine school) that he
keeps coming up with bright ideas of more school - longer hours, weekends,
holidays, and finally summertime! He keeps calling ssemblies, so he can
announce these bright ideas. The kids know it's just because he's sooooo
proud of the school, and nobody wants to be the one to tell him to stop.
Finally one little girl figures out a way to tell him, he calls them all
into assembly - we have such a fine, fine school, and I am soooooo
proud
of you all, and so....(everybody is dreading what's coming next) we need a
good summer break." Yea - summer is saved!
The kids really get into the story with you, and it's great fun!

Are you looking for a picture book? I've used "Goldilocks
Returns" by
Lisa Campbell Ernst for K-5 visits. It's funny and most kids know the
original story of Goldilocks. In fact, I started by asking, "How many of
you know the story of Goldilocks and the three bears?" Then after
they
raise their hands I ask, "And how many of you know what Goldilocks did
when she grew up?" That always caught their attention. However,
it's a
long story so it might depend on how much time you have.
HTH!

Jennifer,
Last summer I read Davy Crockett Saves the World by Rosalyn Schanzer to
various grades. It went over really well. It makes a great read aloud and
the illustrations are great too.
Another favorite that I've done with class visits to the library is Anansi
and the Moss Covered Rock by Eric Kimmel. This is especially fun when a
couple of children come up front to act out the parts of some of the
animals.
Hope this helps.

Hi Jennifer:
I've started our summer promotions with K-5 schools here in Bolingbrook
and have used the following:
Mouse TV by Matt Novak
The Boy with Square Eyes by Juliet Snape
It's Summer by Linda Glaser
The Library Dragon by Carmen Agra Deedy
Depending on which age group I read the story and then go into my talk
about coming to all of our free programs and reading instead of watching
TV. So far it has worked well.
Good luck with yours.

Lisa,
I first must warn you that I have a bizarre sense of humor, that being
said, I usually use the book "Walter's Magic Wand" by Eric Houghton
with
the first graders. They are usually sophisticated enough to get the
ending. I also like to use a "throw up" theme or eating theme and read
"My
little sister ate one hare" by Bill Grossman and I tell the "there was
an
old lady" story and "Bark George" by Jules Feiffer, Hungry Hen by
Richard
Waring and "I stink" by Kate McMullen.
Next week, I made binoculars from tp rolls and the 1st graders and I are
going on a bear hunt and while we look for the bear, I'll introduce them
to the different areas of the library.
For the older kids, I always reach for "Sinky Cheese Man" or the
"True
story of the three pigs" or "Three Cool Kids" by Emberley. I find
that
different versions of tried and true folktales work very well with the
older kids. I like to do fractured fairytales or different ones they may
not know like or urban legends are always popular.
Try Demi's King Midas
Iktomi books by Goble
Kate and the Beanstalk by Pope
Cendrillon by San Souci
I also use the Stories to Solve books by George Shannon. I divide the kids
into small groups, give them scrap paper and have them try to solve the
story after I either tell it to them or read it. This can be a great deal
of fun.
Well good luck and email me back if you've any questions.

Hi Jennifer,
I have used Wolf by Becky Bloom and fractured fairy tales with my 1st and
2nd grade visitors. I have also used Bedhead by Palatini, and Library Lil
with the older children. The 5th and 6th graders really like Bedhead
because they can relate to it.
Good Luck.

Although we are booktalking these, everyone is begging us to read them
during our visits, and if time
permits, we do!
Enemy Pie by Derek Munson Chronicle, 2000
Recess Queen by Alexis O'Neill, Scholastic, 2002
Our feature story presentation is a flannel adaptation of The Blind Men
and the Elephant, by Karen Backstein,
Scholastic, 1992. We used the elephant pattern from Ed Young's Seven Blind
Mice, and cut it up, presenting it
piece by piece. K-5 audiences have been most receptive.
Wishing you a ton of summer fun,

Hi Jenifer,
During Read Across America week I read a few chapters from Erik Kraft's
Lenny & Mel to some 3rd & 4th grade classes. They loved it so much
that
when the recess bell rang most opted to stay in to hear even more from the
book! The sequel, Lenny & Mel Summer Fun, is supposed to be out this
month, but I haven't seen it yet.

Dear Jennifer,
I hope this information isn't too late for your school visits. I am
having a great deal of success with the book: "YEA!" by Emily
Rodda. My
co-worker and I have visited four elementary schools so far and the kids
really enjoy this story. I tell the story and my co-worker prompts the
kids when it's time for them to say yea! or ohhhh! We decided to
concentrate on promoting the fun of reading instead of telling them all
the details of the srp-we hand out brochures that contain the information
they need.
Good luck with whatever you do!

How about The Ink Drinker by SanVoisin (or the follow-up --I think it's
called A Straw for Two) for 4-6th graders. They're not long & they hold
their interest. (Matter of fact, they were originally recommended to me by
pubyacers!). Or for 1-up, how about chapters from Shaquille O'Neal's Shaq
& the Beanstalk ("fractured" fairytales where one chapter leads to
the
next, but you can always stop & encourage them to come to the library to
get the book so they can find out what happens!).

Hi Jennifer,
My favorites, for class visits are:

How do dinosaurs Say Good Night? By Jane Yolen and Mark Teague
Abiyoyo by Peter Seeger

The Rattletrap Car by Phyllis Root.
All work well and the kids love doing the motions and singing the little
short songs.

Natalie, my suggestion is find a couple of songs that involve rhythm =
sticks, shaker eggs, scarves, and use them at every storytime. I do =
this with this age group and it's a big hit. The kids look forward to =
the predictability and love helping to put away the objects when they =
are finished. I change up the books, fingerplays and such, but we start =
and finish storytime the same way and we always do our stick & egg =
songs. I even put the lyrics of the songs on a big poster, 2 reasons: =
1. Parents have no excuse not to sing along and help their children =
learn new vocabulary, and 2. the kids see we get this stuff from a print =
source even if they aren't old enough to read it. Doing these =
activities are great for kinesthetic learners. Hap Palmer has some =
great rhythm stick songs - our favorite is "The Hammer Song."
Having =
some predictable stuff also helps lesson the load on making everything =
fresh and new each time.

Collective brain,
Perhaps you can aid me. I do a 6 week long
non-traditional storytime for 13-35 months. I use many
action rhymes and I try to find fun games for the
toddlers to play. Thing is, I'm running out of games.
I have exhausted the internet. Used as many Mailbox
books as I could find and read any book that seemed
even remotely close to the topic.
Do you know of any other place I could look? Any and
all help is greatly appreciated
Natalie

Go to the Bingo Card Maker website. You can make a 3 x 3 or a 5 x 5
card. You enter x amount of words and it generates the card. You can
press
the shuffle box to shuffle the words. You have to print out each card.

I make my own using the print shop program. I create a table, then insert
pictures into the squares using copy and paste. Works great but is very time
consuming! I have done Thomas & Friends, Beach Blanket, Nighttime, Arthur,
Halloween, etc. - but no Harry yet! Good lcuk, Melissa

You'll have to print each card out individually but you can use any
pictures you want provided they're in the right format but that
should be a problem with HP clip art since it's all over the web. Good Luck,

Carrie,
I haven't found any Harry Potter bingo cards, but this site:
http://teachers.teach-nology.com/web_tools/materials/bingo/
<http://teachers.teach-nology.com/web_tools/materials/bingo/>
lets you create your own cards with 25 words or phrases of your choice, and
will shuffle them for you to create unique cards. I was thinking of
combining trivia with bingo and creating cards with the answers to HP
trivia on them. So instead of saying B, Quidditch, I would say, this is
the
favorite sport of witches and wizards. The kids would first have to know
the answer and then find it on the card. Anyway, the site looks pretty
flexible.
Hope this helps.

recent incidents, including those involving the white-supremacist group
World Church of the Creator. The IFC would like to gather member input
about experience and concern in the field, and to address questions.
Please join us if you have had any challenges to your meeting room
policies and procedures or if you have comments about the ALA Policy.

The IFC is drafting a Privacy Tool Kit to assist libraries and
librarians in developing privacy policies and coping with challenges.
The Committee wants to hear comments and concerns about its recommended
policy guidance that will help libraries develop an up-to-date privacy
policy. The IFC will issue a draft of the guidance document along with
a model privacy policy prior to conference. Copies will be available at

Dear wise ones,
I am a pretty darn good children's librarian--or at least I was, seven years
ago, when I left the profession, moved to a new state, and became a
stay-at-home mom. Now that my youngest is heading for kindergarten, I am
chomping at
the bit to get back into library work. I am currently trying to bring all
my
skills back up to speed. I am reading the library journals, continuing to
familiarize myself with the recent award winning and notable books (and any
other
hot reads), trolling for good library and information websites, looking into
courses at the University of Washington Info. school, and, of course,
continuing
to lurk on my favorite listserv.
Is there anything else I should be doing? Do you have any advice for one
who's been out of the pool for so long but wants to jump back in? I'd
especially
love to hear from Seattle and King County librarians.
This feels like a terribly selfish request when most of you are deep into
summer reading preparation, but I'd be grateful for any nuggets of advice
you
have time to pass on.
Please respond to me directly at DRDandRJP@aol.com
