ELEM: Book Activities

[Suzanne Myers <rdq001@MAIL.CONNECT.MORE.NET>]

I will be presenting a workshop on March 9th to a group of librarians from
our region.
The workshop will be a presentation of  the books that are the  Missouri
Show Me Readers Award Nominees for 1996-97.  As part of my presentation, I
would like to give a few suggestions on activities that could be used with
each book.  If you have an
activity that you have used with any  of the following books, I would like
to hear from you.  You will be given the credit for your ideas.   When
sending your activity, please let me know if you would like to receive a
copy of the workshop handout.  The books are:

Beast Feast  by Douglas Florian
Swamp Angel by Anne Isaacs
The Tale of rabbit & coyote by Tony Johnston
Anansi and the talking Melon by Eric Kimmel
