I am hoping that one of you will recognize it. "I think that I read a book to my kindergarten class around 1990-1995 called "Mr. Tamarind's Trees" (although that must not be the title, since I can't find it). "The man in the story got mad about the fall leaves messing up his yard, so he cut all the trees down. As a result, he was hotter in the summer and colder in the winter. He concludes by planting a yard full of trees, because they are really useful. He enjoys the trees, even when the leaves are all over the yard." Sound familiar? Many thanks for any assistance!

I've found plenty of books on death and dying, books couched in metaphor, books on loss of grandparents and pets, but not one book on the suicide of a parent for a young child (a six year old). I did offer the other books I found, and the patron took them, but she wanted something more specific, if anything was available. Any suggestions? Thanks!

You made me look great on Saturday when I finally ran my Junie B Jones program, the launch for our library's new K-3 book club. Over the summer, I had requested help which you generously provided. Several parents commented -- "the kids had so much fun," "this was a lot of work but well-organized." and similar comments. Best was the HUGS from kids as they were leaving! So, please share in my joy over a job well done! <GRIN!> Now, time to crack the whip and start getting ready for the next meeting of the K-3 club, Jan. 31, 2004. We are using the Magic Tree House series, and any ideas you have had or have used to bring Jack and Annie's adventures to life would be appreciated.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2003 23:48:49 CST I have heard of various libraries working out a way for kids to pay down fines. Some have the kids read for a period of time, some give them things to do at the library. We have some kids who need help paying off their fines, so we were curious about the way it is worked out. HOWEVER, we are very concerned that the system may be abused - for example, kids using the system to "buy" items. And we have some families that are terrible with fines and not returning items, but are very good at finding ways to push the envelope and bend rules. And there is concern that this will send the wrong message and teach kids (and parents) that it is okay to be irresponsible with library items. Any thoughts on this? Also, do you limit it to late fines, or can they work off items that they have lost/kept? Obviously we would have to be fair and offer it to all kids. Any suggestions from those who do this? P.S. The usual amnesty (bringing in food for the poor) would not work in this instance because the one family we have in mind is in need. Thanks in advance.

Thus they are our public to serve. They have Very Strict rules about what their children can read and it is not an easy task to find books for YA's that are not too childish. If anyone has suggestions I would love to get them. Oh, by the way, our 'other' patron groups also frequently come to us and ask "don't we have just a normal book with a story"! One kid told me too many YA books are 'depressing.' Just speaking from my experience and observations. No offense intented to anyone.

Childrens story. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2003 23:57:27 CST Hello, I just got an online reference question from a patron who is looking for the name of a children's book. The patron says that it is "a story about a Mexican girl who wanted a burro for her birthday". Also she says, "same time as Ferdinand The Bull & Ping." This is all of the description she has. Please respond directly to me (augustines@aadl.org) and not to the list.

The book in question is "Mr. Tamarin's Trees", not Tamarind as our customer thought. It is OP, so if you have a copy hang on to it -- those used book sellers with copies are charging $40-$60 for a library copy! The customer's description of this book is as follows: "The man in the story got mad about the fall leaves messing up his yard, so he cut all the trees down. As a result, he was hotter in the summer and colder in the winter. He concludes by planting a yard full of trees, because they are really useful. He enjoys the trees, even when the leaves are all over the yard."

She recalls two of the characters were called 'Warren Beetle' and 'Doris Minor'. She says the book contains two (possibly more) short stories including such characters. I have tried the usual subject and word searches here and character indexes online to no avail. Can you help? Please email me directly. Many thanks in advance for your help.
