You can create your own planet or adopt a worm, but in either case you are getting standards-based learning that is also interactive. Basing her advice upon her experience as a school librarian, Thelen gives individual, collaborative and community-based lessons for language arts (including a multilingual treasure hunt and poetry slam dunk), science (including dragons and a K-2 version of "Will It Float?"), math (measuring the whole school and math magic bags), the arts (including theater, music and visual arts), social studies (including a living wax museum), technology, library instruction, and behavior management. She also gives a range of ideas for fund raisers and publicity, including book races, library stores, community clean-ups, and even the creation of a library cafeteria lady. She includes reading incentive programs for selected subjects. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
