Yes, they are a bit of a pain to circulate and many here at my library were a bit put out about the purchase. They have been very welcomed by the parents, however, and they are highly circulated with little loss. Each of the 10-15 books in a set is cataloged and then the entire set is kept in a hanging bag along with other kits, tapes and like media. Parents especially like checking out each set as their children progress in tbeir reading abilities. I think that is where weas librarians can be especially helpful; the Bob Books are not meant to be read over and over and over but are stepping stones and it is a great service to the community if we purchase and circulate these reading aids so that parents do not have to purchase them. -- Charlotte L.

Do you have to provide programming for everyone who wants it--adults with severe dementia, schizophrenic young people? How can you be expected to do that? When you say "special needs"--does the child rock and scream, wander and poke, is s/he in a wheelchair, can s/he use the toilet alone? I'd suggest a respite care program, but the only one I can find in Suffolk is for old people.

After hearing the story, the parents made a pizza out of their children the way Pete's father did. I had precut red paper = squares for tomatoes and white paper for cheese. The kids especially enjoyed being kneaded and stretched. I passed out the paper as I came to each ingredient, while narrating the "instructions." Linda Woodbury *************************************** Introduction: I'm thinking of something that is round. It is red and white. It comes in a box. It's covered with cheese. What is it? =20 =09 Book: "Hi, Pizza Man!" by Virginia Walter Flannel Board Story: One Whole Pizza Chant: Pizza and pop Pizza and pop When I get started I just can't stop The smell is delicious The taste is so yummy I love it most when it gets to my tummy. Book: Pizza Kittens by Charlotte Voake Song: (to tune of Bingo) There is a food that I like=20 And it is very yummy. P-I-Z-Z-A, P-I-Z-Z-A, P-I-Z-Z-A And pizza is so yummy Continue with *-I-Z-Z-A. **Z-Z-A. ***Z-A, ****A, ***** Flannel Board Story: Five Little Pizzas=20 Book: Pizza by Jan Pienkowski =20 Barbara K. Smith *******************************************************We did a pizza = storytime last spring, and a couple of the books that I used that went = over really well with the preschoolers were: Curious George and the Pizza The Little Red Hen Makes a Pizza, and Hi Pizza Man! (lots of animals - very fun!) We did a craft with small paper plates where the kids colored the paper = plate red (sauce), glued "pepperoni" (red circles), sausage (brown = circles) and "green peppers" green strips on, and then sprinkled on some = "cheese" (gold glitter). =20 The only song I could think of using pizza was a version of "On Top of Old = Smokey" On top of my pizza, all covered with sauce, Some pepperoni fell off and it got lost. It rolled off the table, and onto the floor, and then the poor pepperoni, it rolled out the door. On top of my pizza, all covered with cheese, I lost all my sausage (or mushrooms, green peppers, etc.) when somebody = sneezed. It rolled off the table, and onto the floor, and then the poor sausage, it rolled out the door. You could also do something with Patty Cake: Pizza pie, pizza pie, pizza man! Bake me a pizza as fast as you can. Mix it and bake it and top it with some cheese, And put it in the oven for (child's name) and me! Definitely post a compilation, because I would love some ideas for the = future! Natasha Forrester, Children's Services Library ************************************************* I have done a pizza theme. First, I make a pizza out of felt, with all the appropriate toppings. Then I act out the song I AM A PIZZA I am a pizza,with extra cheese Firm tomato, and saucy squeeze Onions and mushrooms and oregano I am a pizza READY TO GO I am a pizza perreroni NO anchovie or Phoney Baloney I am a Pizza ORDER BY PHONE I am a pizza PLEASE TAKE ME HOME I am a pizza peppers on top Out of the oven Into the Box Into the car and UPSIDE DOWN!!

You can have the kids help act out the story or use a puppet. You need props like checkers, bottled water, baby powder, etc. It's a fun story. Stacey Irish-Keffer ********************************************** I did a food thing a couple of months ago and came across these 2=20 pizza-related things: call & response chant Pizza Cheese (Cheese!) Cheese Sauce (Cheese Sauce!) Anchovies (Anchovies!) Pizza (Pizza!) Eatta Lotta Eatta Lotta Eatta Lotta Pizza (Eatta Lotta Eatta Lotta Eatta Lotta Pizza!) Oh No Don't Drop The Pizza (repeat!) If You Drop The Pizza Nobody Eatza (repeat!) Gobble Gobble Gobble Gobble Gobble Gobble Burp (Gobble Gobble Gobble=20 Gobble Gobble Gobble Burp!) (from Boy Scout Song site http://www.scoutsongs.com/lyrics/pizza.html) Also I did the old Apples and Bananas song but with Pepperoni Pizza: I like to eat Eat eat eat I like to eat Pepperoni Pizza I like to eat Pepperoni Pizza I like to ate Ate ate ate I like to ate Paperoni Paytza (also Peeperoni Peetza, Pyperoni Pytza, Poperoni Pozza, Pupperoni Putza) Raffi has the apples and bananas version on one of his recordings, or=20 call me up if you want the tune) Have fun! My kids really liked Pete's a Pizza and Hi Pizza Man. Laurel --=20 Laurel Sharp ********************************************* I like to read Pizza Pat (Rita Gelman), Hi Pizza Man (Virginia Walter), and A Job for Wittilda (Caralyn Buehner) when I do a storytime on pizza. If you have slightly older kids you can tell Hi Pizza Man using pictures or puppets, or the kids themselves can even act out the book with the puppets. I also have a large posterboard (red, of course) with large letters spelling out pizza, along with a picture of the correct sign language for each letter. We sing the song below and then spell out pizza in sign language. I also have the kids do a flannelboard pizza activity. Just start out with a round, tan shape for the crust, and have lots of different colored shapes for the kids to choose from. They take turns coming up to the board, where they select a topping, and tell everyone what it is before placing it on the crust. They come up with some great ideas! For crafts, you can make a paper pizza very easily, but why stop there? You can make real pizzas! Just have the kids spoon jarred or canned pizza sauce and sprinkle shredded cheese onto English muffin or pita halves (you can have other toppings available if you want, but the kids are usually happy with their cheese pizzas) and pop them into a toaster oven. P-I-Z-Z-A (tune: B-I-N-G-O) There's a food we love to eat And Pizza is it's name-oh. P-I-Z-Z-A, P-I-Z-Z-A, P-I-Z-Z-A And pizza is it's name-oh. Hope these ideas help, and have fun. --Tracey ************************************************ I do a storytime for a slightly younger group but this is what I have = used. Books: Pizza!

I read "Pete's a Pizza" by Steig; "The Little Red Hen Makes a Pizza" by Sturges; and "Hi! Pizza Man!" by Walter. = I showed "Little Nino's Pizzeria" from Reading Rainbow. Our snack was pizza-flavored Goldfish. For our craft I used glue and paper plates, gave the kids a triangle of tan construction paper and let them "make" a pizza slice with cut-up construction paper leftovers -- a good way to use up = those odds and ends we librarians insist on saving. It was a big hit with the kids. They especially liked the flavored = Goldfish.

I was wondering if any of you have an evaluation form that you use at your library as a tool for reviewing your colleaque's progress and growth? I would like to begin doing this in my department and could use some suggestions. If you have a moment to share yours with me, I would greatly appreciate it. I can be reached at karp@tln.lib.mi.us. Thanks so much.

I tried to read DiCamillo's book, but couldn't get through it. After about 80 pages (more than Nancy Pearl's minimum length), I had to throw it down in disgust. I felt like the tone was oppressive and patronizing. I didn't like any of the characters. Only one person I know has read it all the way through and she felt like she forced herself to finish it because it was the winner (she read it last night). We are wondering if DiCamillo won because she should have won for Winn-Dixie. Talking amongst ourselves in Eugene, however, we couldn't come up with any American books that should have won this year. There were British and Australian releases that we enjoyed, but little by American authors. Are any of you disappointed in this year's winner? What do you think should have won? If you enjoyed the book, could you explain why (perhaps I missed something)? If there are any members of the committee that read PUBYAC, I would love to know the basis for selection. Thank you, Aimee Aimee Meuchel Youth Services Librarian Eugene Public Library Eugene, OR (541) 682-8480 ------------------------------ From: "Vanessa J.

Verdun-Morris Youth Services Librarian River Rouge Public Library ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Subject: STUMPER: Elephant and Ducklings I have a young boy looking for a picture book about an elephant who finds three ducklings, two boys and one girl. The elephant teaches the ducklings how to swim, how to quack, and how to fly. At the end of the book, the mother duck finds the ducklings, and thanks the elephant for watching them. ------------------------------ End of PUBYAC Digest 1313 *************************
