Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2003 00:09:47 CST The answer is WHAT TO BE by Meredith Powell and Gail Yokubinas (1972) Thanks to stumper-solver Lise Tewes, we now can get the book for our customer. The original stumper was: We are searching for a poem in a picture book format that is about careers; probably at least ten years old. It contains the lines "Woe is me, woe is me, when I grow up, what will I be?" and features career possibilities such as nurse, doctor, etc. Mary R.

Patron is looking for a book she remembers from her childhood (early 1970's). Patron would like the title and author of this book. It features a little red-hair girl. The girl and her clothes are in color and the background parts are just done in black ink. Text is as follows: "I like big trees with high-up swings, And little tickly, curly things (Like spaniel ears...and pillow feathers, And chasing leaves in windy weather), Kites flying zigzag in the sky, There is more text and I can provide that information if it will help to identify the author/title. I have searched our collection, Google, WorldCat for "first line" and "keywords". Your help in identifying this book would be greatly appreciated. You may contact me off list and I will post the results.

They have asked me to bring some books and make up a booklist both of books for kids and books for parents and other adults. The topics that they are asking me to address include death & dying, adversity, assurance, feelings, cultural diversity, and violence and trauma for kids and then books to help adults work with children dealing with these issues as well as stress in children, comforting kids and the like. I'm sure somewhere in the archives are great posts following 9/11 but I'm not adept at dealing with such things so I'm hoping you'll share your favorites on these topics. I'll compile suggestions and repost to the list (although it may take me a few days). Thanks for all your help.

Spicer Head of Youth Services Purcellville Library Tel: 540-338-7235 ospicer@loudoun.gov highly recommend these two books we have in our collection. Both books offer reassurance, answer questions that might cause worry (does it smell? how do I get out stains? how can I talk to anyone about this?), and don't dwell on (or even mention) sexual activity, which is probably beyond the ken of a 9 year old! Period Book: Things You Don't Want to Ask (but Need to Know), by Karen and Jennifer Gravelle, ISBN 0802774784, Publisher's Weekly review With the help of her 15-year-old niece, Karen Gravelle hits her mark with this accessible guide for adolescent girls. Frank and at times funny, the book focuses on changes that occur during puberty, specifically those accompanying menstruation. Though the scope is, intentionally, not as comprehensive as many handbooks on adolescence, the authors address nitty- gritty, practical details not usually included in such tomes (e.g., tips on improvising a sanitary pad). In addition to answering a range of "What if?" questions that would be embarrassing for many girls to ask, the authors also cover such subjects as what to expect from a visit to a gynecologist; living with pimples, cramps and "weird emotions"; and how to communicate better with parents. A comforting chapter about physical development draws an important distinction between being "normal" and being "like everyone else." Though sometimes silly or clichéd, Palen's cartoon illustrations echo the candor of the text and reinforce its kid-friendly approach. Ages 8-up. Period. A Girl's Guide to Menstruation with a Paren't Guide, by JoAnn Loulan and Bonnie Worthen, Revised edition ISBN 0916773973 Publisher's Weekly review A Girl's Guide by JoAnn Loulan and Bonnie Worthen, first published in 1979 and newly revised and updated, thoroughly covers questions about puberty and menstruation. The authors emphasize the positive (e.g., "Being comfortable with your own body is important") and use diagrams to familiarize readers with the inner workings of their bodies, including what happens during menstruation. A question-and-answer format in the last three chapters allows girls to locate easily the information they seek. A parent's guide bound into the back suggests how to begin a conversation about puberty, what to cover, etc. A thoughtful approach for young women facing changes. ; Jan.

Rowling Hi, I don't have suggestions for boys, but a really good book for young girls is called The Care and Keeping of You. It's by the American Girl Company and it has good information about growing up as well as general health care info. It doesn't talk about boys and I found it to be a good book for my 10 year old daughter. It is one of her favorite books. Hope this helps. -- Nancy Thelen 920 W.

It is a collection of short stories in different times and cultures. I think it is a fantastic collection and a wonderful update. Molly Meyers Children's Libraries Worthington Libraries Mmeyers@worthingtonlibraries.org FYI. Many girls and boys are reaching puberty early because of the hormones added to milk and other foods. There have been many articles written about this issue.
