Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
An excellent resource for adding wit to your library repertoire. The ideas are divided by age levels: preschoolers to primary-grade children, intermediate school-age children, and middle-school and high-school students. This latter section includes writing and performing activities. The author uses his 20-plus years of experience to relate tricks of the trade that include warming up an audience, selecting age-appropriate material and props, and using vocal and facial expressions. Succeeding chapters include a Reader's Theater script for Margie Palatini's The Web Files, ideas for hosting lively library tours and school visits, several themed raps, and lists of "The Funniest Books in Your Library," divided by genre.

Buyer Beware!,
By
This review is from: Something Funny Happened at the Library: How to Create Humorous Programs for Children and Young Adults (Paperback)
Was this book funny? Not in my opinion. It lacked relevancy to the "contemporary" student. However, if you were time warped back to 1952, and applied these suggestions, you MIGHT get a laugh.
This book was a disappointment. Poorly organized, and not good as a quick reference. Seriously, content was ridiculous (and I don't mean funny)! In all fairness, maybe it just didn't meet my professional needs or mesh with my personal taste, but I highly suggest getting hold of copy and looking through it before purchasing it.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic Addition to any Professional Collection!,
This review is from: Something Funny Happened at the Library: How to Create Humorous Programs for Children and Young Adults (Paperback)
This book is a fantastic addition to any library collection and a great resource for any librarian or storyteller! It includes a multitude of recommendations for all ages and programs including preschool-high school programs and tours and outreach programs. Rob's ideas are very versitile and easily implemented the majority of programs. I'm thrilled with this addition to our chilren's professional collection, and can't wait to implement them in my own programs!
