Summer Reading
Summer Reading is now in full swing. What is Summer Reading? Every summer the state libraries have a themed summer reading program to encourage youth to...well...read during the summer. This summer the theme is “Get A Clue @ your library”...a detective type thing. So we developed a program called “You Be The Detective”; stories and riddles to get the kids thinking and excited about reading. We tell stories with a question and a clever twist. Along with stories, we pose some smart riddles to the kids. Those kids are really on top of things. They are great at solving mysteries and puzzles. We have nearly twenty “You Be the Detective”
shows booked over the summer. So far it has been a blast. Our favorite riddles? Here goes.....
What gets wetter the more it dries? (a towel)
What goes up a chimney when it's down, but can't go down a chimney when it's up? (an umbrella)
What sits in the corner and travels around the world? (A postage stamp....or maybe a suitcase.)
One of the delightful discoveries that we have been making is that if you ask kids to put on their detective hats, eyes and ears, they are able to make some really interesting deductive answers.
AND we have also been delighted to know that although the kids know some things about detectives and mysteries from TV and the movies.....reading mysteries is alive and well with some of the most popular being Encyclopedia Brown, Nate the Great Detective, Cam Jensen (girl detective with the photographic memory...just like a “camera”....) and (surprise!) Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys.
Are you reading this before the middle of August 2007? If so, there still is a chance to catch us at a southern CA library near you. Take a look at our on-line calendar at http://www.my.calendars.net/patchworkplayers

He lived (Dennis, not Thalaba) in his wife's room http://startso11.info/pgnige.html over the kitchen.. How much cotton http://startso11.info/www.doktorek21.jakijest.html will you raise? Well, I count on a hundr'd bales.. I--er--offer my sincerest congratulations--though I http://startso11.info/www.krakzal.pll.html think you--er--overestimate--my--er--powers of penetration.. The husbands took on the politely surly look http://startso11.info/karamello.html required of them.. The dream gets a kind of facade which, it is true, does not conceal the http://startso11.info/pierwiastek.html whole of its content.. And so that is http://startso11.info/gimnazjum+w+barczewo.html your view? asked Mrs.. Her hat was trimmed with a narrow-striped silk of the same colors--maroon and white--and in her hand she held a parasol that matched her dress. http://startso11.info/URZ%C4%84D+PRACY+W+S%C5%81UPSKU.html. If I'm fool enough to go, I don't expect to come out of http://startso11.info/www%2Cotomoto%2Cpl.html it alive.. They can't turn us out in this http://startso11.info/www.ilusek..html high-minded manner! Isn't there a law or something to that effect? It wouldn't matter if there was, he thoughtfully replied.. This danger is released through the full sway of http://startso11.info/wierszyki+okoliczno%C5%9Bciowe.html the dream process.. That is the case when we dream, for instance, that some dear relative has died of plague when we know http://rebestal.info/conditionel.html of no ground for expecting, apprehending, or assuming anything of the sort; we can only ask ourself wonderingly: What brought that into my head? To the third group those dreams belong which are void of both meaning and intelligibility; they are incoherent, complicated, and meaningless.. We have found some dreams that were plainly wish-fulfillments; and others in which http://startso11.info/%C5%9Bmier%C4%87+ksi%C4%99%C5%BCnej+dajany.html wish-fulfillment could not be recognized, and was frequently concealed by every available means.. Fluker may be said, therefore, to have followed, rather than led, his family on the return. http://startso11.info/katalog+polskich+stron+erotycznych.html. According to the correct but concise definition of Aristotle, the dream is a continuation of thinking in sleep (in http://startso11.info/zamiaculcas.html so far as one sleeps).. Come, come now, cried Buller. http://startso11.info/funeral+agency.html. If they did I would never wish to see them again http://startso11.info/kan+therm.html in my house.. The Major rose http://startso11.info/lLech+Walesa.html and came forward at the old, familiar style of address.. They were chatting gaily when http://startso11.info/przemoc+wobec+dziecka.html the Ellsworths came down the stairs.. When I went to church and saw a thin, blue, artificial flower, or a great sleepy cushion expounding the beauty of holiness to http://startso11.info/castorama++Bydgoszcz.html pews full of eagles, half-eagles, and threepences, however adroitly concealed in broadcloth and boots: or saw an onion in an Easter bonnet weeping over the sins of Magdalen, I did not feel as they felt who saw in all this, not only propriety, but piety.. The matter yielded by an analysis of the dream stands in intimate relationship with the dream content, but this relationship is so special that I should never have http://startso11.info/konto+m%C5%82odzie%C5%BCowe.html been able to have inferred the new discoveries directly from the dream itself...
