Hi Colleagues, I'm working on a new manuscript and find myself wondering what is the BEST (funniest, strangest, coolest) reference question you've ever had from a kid. I'd like something related to an animal, if possible, and very obscure. To start the ball rolling, mine was from a transitional first grader whose teacher (laughing hysterically, I might add) sent the child down to ask, "Mrs. Buzzeo, I'm researching sloths and I found out that they only poop once a week. But I can't find out whether they come down out of their trees to poop. Mrs. Brady said that YOU could probably find the answer." (Actually, we ended up INFERRING that the answer was yes. Those crazy reference sources didn't address this and it was pre-Internet days :>) Toni Toni Buzzeo, MA, MLIS <mailto:tonibuzzeo@tonibuzzeo.com> Maine Library Media Specialist of the Year Emerita Buxton, ME 04093 http://www.tonibuzzeo.com R is for Research, illustrated by Nicole Wong (Upstart 2008) BRAND NEW! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
