MID: Wacky Book Care stories

[Gayle Hodur <ghodur@redshift.com>]

Someone else requested a book care lesson for middle school, so maybe we
can all help each other out. Mail me the most outlandish TRUE book
damage story you've experienced. I'll use these in my book care lesson
and provide the hit to the list so anyone else who wants to use them
can, too. I think I will base my lesson on the hit TV show "ER."

Here's mine, for a starter:
I was finishing my lesson with a first grade class, and the highlight
was a contest to "win" the chance to check out an extra book for the
week. As the rest of the class lined up for lunch, the winner came to me
for her book. I was holding it in both hands, waiting for her to reach
out for it, when she suddenly leaned forward and threw up all over the
book, me, and herself. I think you could say it was "DOA."
