Future Librarian Superhero: November 2013
http://www.futurelibrariansuperhero.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 13, 2013. David LaRochelle and Mike Wohnoutka. It's a great program, that I think could be pulled off pretty easily by smaller libraries! But what I *really* wanted to share with this post was what books I'm reading on my visits, and how they're working with Kindergartners. I get a lot of chances to test drive these stories, and started out with about ten options; these were the ones that rose to the top:. Count the Monkeys by Mac Barnett and Kevin Cornell. There are all the monkeys.

Future Librarian Superhero: Game Word Generator
http://www.futurelibrariansuperhero.com/2012/07/game-word-generator.html
Tuesday, July 24, 2012. Here's a useful thing I found while poking around:. A Game Word Generator. Especially useful for people working with teens/tweens and playing games like Pictionary, Win Lose or Draw, and Charades. Just click the button to get a new word, and you can choose categories like easy, medium, hard, really hard, movies, idioms, people and characters, or a mix of all categories. I know this just saved me at least 15-20 minutes of staring off into space trying to think of words!

http://www.futurelibrariansuperhero.com/2011/10/on-display-dr-seuss-and-seussical.html
Monday, October 24, 2011. On Display- Dr. Seuss and Seussical the Musical. Our local community theater is staging a production of Seussical the Muscial opening the first week of November, so I put together a display using all the books that are part of the musical. And, in a last minute bright idea, I whipped up a little game! Took me ten minutes tops to print, cut-out, and tape these up around the library! November 13, 2011 at 2:55 PM.

Friday, December 13, 2013. Reforming the Storytime Mob. At the end of storytime, I stamp the kids hands/arms.

Future Librarian Superhero: Once Upon a Reader
http://www.futurelibrariansuperhero.com/2014/10/once-upon-reader.html
Tuesday, October 14, 2014. Once Upon a Reader. My 'free' time for blogging became non-existent last February when I accepted an independent contractor position working as a project manager for a new "One Book" initiative in Minnesota. When I took the position, there was a vague idea of what the program would look like, and how it would be formed, but other than that it was something completely new. It has been a wild ride! By David LaRochelle, illustrated by Mike Wohnoutka. That's nearly 17,000 kids with...

After reading SALAD PIE (and singing along with me- one group in New Jersey had a great new tune. I wish I had recorded it! Thank you to LitWorld. For creating this event and to Kate Messner.
