1st Grade Lib. Prog. Ideas

[J Shild <ARTizLIFE@AOL.COM>]

Hi--

I am a children's librarian in a public library. Every Fall, we host all 1st
graders from all of our local elementary schools in a series of evening
programs called "First Grade Library Stars." The program acquaints youngsters
with the public library, the librarians, etc. and they all get their library
cards (if they don't already have one).

Well, each year we present stories and guest readers from the community but
we as librarians always do a puppet show based on a book. For example, last
year we did "The Cow That Went Moo." The year before we did "The Lady with
the Alligator Purse."  The stories have to fit well to adaptation to using
puppets and props, not be overly loooong, and the funnier stories are better
for this audience.

This year we'd like to get started now on planning and so far we've come up
with a few titles but they aren't so great. So I thought I would put it out
there to you LM_Netters.   ANY IDEAS?  They will be greatly appreciated....
:)
