        Scholastic Network is pleased to announce BooKBraG - a moderated
   monthly e-newsletter for teachers by teachers about the best new
   children's books and the brightest ideas for using them in your
   classroom.

        Each month you'll find reviews of more than a dozen books that
   address topics and genres kids love - artists & writers, biographies,
   endangered animals, folktales and much more!   These selections are
   made by Judy Freeman, a librarian and author of _Books Kids Will Sit
   Still For: The Complete Read Aloud Guide_ (Bowker) and contributor
   to Instructor Magazine.

        BooKBraG also features "Author Talk" - exclusive interviews with
   children's book authors who will share their ideas for how teachers
   and kids can use their books.  In our first issue "Author Talk" will
   profile Michael Dorris, author of _Morning Girl_.

        Your input is very important!  Fill us in with your questions
   and comments, thoughts and ideas for using children's literature.
   Remember - BooKBraG is a place where you can speak up and share your
   ideas with your colleagues around the world!!!  You will find a
   summary of these great ideas in the monthly feature *Idea Swap*
