Bedtime Stories
My sister and I had a book with this title when we were young. The stories were about children who didn't obey and suffered the consequences. In one, a little girl's doll carriage was crushed because she left it in the driveway. In another a child was left home from an outing because he or she would not get up and get ready in time. If anyone has this book, I would love to hear from you. If I could get a copy for a reasonable price, I would be interested. Thanks.

Book Club Newbie Needs Your Help!
I recently joined my first book club and just started reading next month's selection. However, I'm struggling with the best approach to reading the book, taking notes, and remembering important points. Does anyone have suggestions? Are there tools available to help readers be more efficient? Currently I am highlighting important passages and jotting down notes on a pad of paper, but I'm wondering if there is a better way. I'm sure it varies by reader, but I am just curious what other people are doing.
Thanks for your help!

Book clubs for 7th and 8th graders
Hi all! I'm new to this wiki, but have been enjoying reading all the great ideas here. I am a school librarian for grades 7 through 12 and want to start a voluntary book club for just the 7th and 8th graders here at my school. So, have any of you been part of a book club of 12, 13, and 14 year olds? Any do's or don'ts? One of my greatest concerns right now is the size. Many of you have said that small groups are better. What if I get 15 to 20 "takers?" Should I enlist the help of another librarian here so we can subdivide the group? Maybe one group would like to read one sort of genre and another set of kids would prefer another. Anyway, I suspect someone out there might have had some experience here. Many thanks!
