August 2000: Ramona Forever? This year marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of the book Henry Huggins, the first title in a long-running series which was soon to feature a small girl named Ramona Quimby. If some of Beverly Cleary's books have stood the proverbial test of time - as many readers, librarians and booksellers will agree they have - then we want to ask: which books? And why? How have the books changed over time? What memories do you have of reading Beverly Cleary books in your own childhood? How do young readers respond to them today? More information about Beverly Cleary and her books can be found on the Beverly Cleary page of the Internet School Library Media Center Index to Author Sites at: http://falcon.jmu.edu/~ramseyil/cleary.htm
September 2000: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: The fourth book in the Harry Potter sequence by J.K. Rowling has become as the fastest selling book in publishing history. At 752 pages, it is also one of the longest children's books on record, yet children have reportedly turned off television and logged off their computers to spend summer days reading J. K. Rowling's latest offering. Our discussion will focus on the book itslef, as well as the continuing saga of the Harry Potter phenomenon. Please visit Harry Potter: Selected Links on the World Wide Web at: www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/hplinks.htm and Reviews and Distinctions for the U.S. Editions of the Harry Potter Books at: www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/hpreview.htm for further information.
October 2000: Alice in Wonderland: How do children respond to Lewis Carroll's classic children's book today? Monica Edinger, fourth grade teacher at the Dalton School in New York, New York, will lead our discussion and will share her experiences with Alice in the classroom. Please visit an excellent web page created by Monica and school librarian Roxanne Hsu Feldman, The Many Faces of Alice: A Classroom Project at: www.dalton.org/ms/alice/ in order to prepare for our discussion.
