To give publishers their due, it's my impression that over the last decade
or so, every assignment has been working its way down the curriculum, so
that the biography reports that used to be done by 4th graders are now done
by 2nd graders, etc.--and that creeping does result in a demand for easy
little books on a lot of topics.

The US Dept of Education 'Early Childhood Head Start Task Force' has great,
colorful and heavyduty flyers (about 4"x9") called 7 Super Things
Parents &
Caregivers Can Do. (fx: 1. talk often with your children from the day they
are
born. etc) They are free and you can order in bulk, I"m sorry I don't know
the
url offhand, but I'm sure you can find it. They have others available also.
Hope this helps,

Dear Pubyacers-
Our branch is having a "Where the Wild Things Are" party next month to
tie
into our system's "Wild about Reading" Summer Reading Program theme.
We are
renting and will be receiving the "Wild Thing" costume from
HarperCollins
via Costume Specialists Inc. for the program and are looking for additional
ideas for activities, games, crafts or treats.
We have many cute "monster" type treats and crafts etc. that would be
easily
adaptable to the "Wild Thing" theme. But thought that you
experts out there
might have some other suggestions for us. You can email me directly off
the
list at charlar10@hotmail.com
I can send results on to others who are
interested or post later.
Thanks in advance,
Charlotte Burrows

Hi all-
I have a patron looking for a picutre book she believes was published in
the last few years that I am not familiar with. We have looked extensively
in our library system's holdings, in A to Z and we weren't successful on
Amazon, the Internet or in other searches.
The patron recalls that the story has a little mouse and a grandmother
mouse. The mouse is scared to come out but finally does venture out to eat
some cake??? She remembers "soft", "pretty"
illustrations of countryside
along with the scenes of the little mouse and grandmother mouse. The
patron is sure that it is NOT the recent Scaredy Mouse by Alan MacDonald
but an older book and also does not believe that it was a Town/Country
Mouse story.
If this rings any bells with any of you -- please reply directly to me off
list at--- cburrows@ccclib.org
Thanks to all,
Charlotte Burrows

Subject: stumper: boy kidnapped, involved with horses
A customer is looking for a series of two or perhaps 3 books, written
probably in the 80's. Takes place in Britain.
1st book: boy about 15 is riding home from school on a 10-speed, and is
thrown into a van and kidnapped. Story is how he is held, ransomed and
released. Later he's showing or racing horses, and he recognizes the
voice of a groom as one of his kidnappers, and later more of them are
captured.
2d book: boy is in private school. He's a prefect.
3d book: Boy is older teen, vacationing in Greece with family friends,
including a girl. (two groups of families on trip together). He gets the
girl pregnant, runs away from home with his horse, spends 6 months or so
coming to grips with his situation, and eventually comes back home.
She remembers a lot, but not the titles or author.
Can anyone help?
