I really would like suggestions for picturebooks that deal with concepts from physics like force, motion, gravity, magnetism, and electricity. I am finding lots of non-fiction, but not much for the younger crowd, and not many picturebook format that could be read to the k-3rd crowd. Any suggestions?

Also a book suggestion for a 1book 1classroom program...choose one pricture book for each 1st grade in district and work with teachers to develop a specific program to go along with the book during a week long celebration.

Anyhow, my EXTREMELY TALENTED staff came up with a wonderful Dr. Suess bulletin board and they wrote the rules up in a Seussian manner and I really wanted to share them with you! Here it is: We were reading and playing in the library one day when the Cat in the Hat had a few things to say... The library is cool we can have fun here all day But parents should always be near when we play. If we play with a puppet, a cow, or a block And we start to run fast or jump high a lot, Before it is TOO MUCH It's much better to STOP. Messes are fun the Cat in the Hat knows, But when we are done that mess just must go. If we've got something to tell, like a song, or a call. Horton says "Say it in a wee voice that's small." Most important of all, the staff are your friends. They're always about from beginning to end. No question's too long, too deep or too hard. Well, Gee, that's what you get with your library card!

There must be a better search strategy, but I'm missing it today. Maybe the brain cells are suffering from too much holiday sugar ... Can anyone help?

I'd appreciate a little input on the following topic which I think has been discussed in the past. I am considering changing the name of our Young Adult collection to Teen. I would change the spine labels from YA to TEEN. I would have to have this Call Number created in our system. I don't think it is used by any other library in our network. My main reason for doing this would be to attract our teen readers. Our Young Adult collection is in a rather obscure location, but I think if it was relabeled it might attract more browsers/readers. I have completed a major weeding of the collection and would love to have it used more. Thanks for your input. I know this is short notice. The trustees will be meeting on Monday night and I'd like to have some pros and cons to present to them at that time.

Jones and Magic Tree House. Thank you to all who responded, your input is much appreciated. The compilation is quite long, so if you'd like to see the responses, please email me and I'll send them to you as an attachment. If I can go by the folks who wrote to me, about half of you have a separate section for easy chapter books and the other half shelve them with fiction but put a sticker of some kind on them. I got some ideas about different things to call the section. Some say "Intermediate", "Early Chapter Books", etc. It was all very interesting! Again, thanks to all who responded.

The book must be for ages 9-12 and less than 200 pages and still in print. I've looked in several sources but found nothing that seems to fit or stand out.
