[LM_NET] ELEM: BOOK Dragon Display for Books read

[Toni Buzzeo <tonibuzzeo@TONIBUZZEO.COM>]

on a library catalog recently.  Now, of course, I 
can't find it anywhere.  Does anyone remember 
this?  It was a big colorful Chinese dragon with 
scales to add for books read."

So, to Louise and All of my LM_NET colleagues.

I am choosing to answer this question publicly 
because--well--the dragon display is based on my 
new book, FIRE UP WITH READING published by 
Upstart. www.highsmith.com then click UPSTART BOOKS.

For those of you who know Mrs. Skorupski from her 
first book, OUR LIBRARIAN WON'T TELL US ANYTHING, 
she is back with more wisdom and more fun.  This 
time the inimitable Mrs. Skorupski celebrates 
reading and literacy with a school wide reading 
incentive program that she and Mr. Moriarty, the 
principal, announce on the first day of school. 
Shy Patty Lee longs to win the contest and dance 
in the dragon costume in the Read Across America 
Day parade, but cranky Carmen Rosa Peņa is a 
strong competitor. They both turn to Mrs. 
Skorupski who supplies them with plenty of ideas 
for a variety of reading formats, including 
audiobooks on CD and mp3 recordings and reading 
activities, like reading to other children.  The 
race is on to see who will be the top reading 
class and the top fourth grade reader!

As Louise mentioned, Upstart has done a wonderful 
job creating supplementary materials so that 
anyone who wants to can duplicate the Fire Up 
with Reading program, which is carefully 
described in the Library Lessons booklet that accompanies the book.

I'll have the Reader's Theater for it up soon on 
my website, but if you need it right now, e-mail me.

Hope you'll enjoy!

Best,
Toni
