Azriel | Thursday, December 18, 2003 - 03:29 pm     There was a book that I read to my children when they were little and I'd like to get the book for my neice's baby for Christmas, but I can't remember the name of the dang book. Does anybody know the name of this book? It's a counting book about a bunch of animals that climb in a tree and in the end the tree bends over from all the weight. It's a really funny, cute little book. I wish I could remember the dang name! |
Lkunkel | Thursday, December 18, 2003 - 04:24 pm     I thought at first it might be One Fine Day, but that strikes me as too new. How about calling your local library or a preschool? |
Mamie316 | Thursday, December 18, 2003 - 04:59 pm     There is a book called Chicka Chicka Boom Boom but it is all the lower case alphabet letters that climb in the tree and then it bends. All the upper case letters are their parents and come and help them. |
Lkunkel | Thursday, December 18, 2003 - 05:20 pm     What a cute story! |
Reader234 | Thursday, December 18, 2003 - 05:25 pm     I love Chica Chica Boom Boom!! My copy is at school or I'd give you a great preview, but alas, my brain cells are dying off... I also love the Cassette recording that you can purchase, it has a great rhythm!! Highly reccommended!! |
Grannie | Thursday, December 18, 2003 - 05:33 pm     My grands just loved Chica Chic Boom book. Hope you can get it for your niece's baby. That would be your grand niece/nephew? |
Maris | Thursday, December 18, 2003 - 05:45 pm     Chica Chica boom is a great book. A told B and B told C, lets climb to the top of the coconut tree. That is all I can remember. |
Azriel | Friday, December 19, 2003 - 06:37 am     YES!!!!!!! Thank you!!! It's official. The people at TVCH know everything!  |
Reader234 | Friday, December 19, 2003 - 11:25 am     I loved when they fall out of the coconut tree, the skinned up knees, and how the Upper case letters take them off for care!! |
Ladytex | Saturday, December 20, 2003 - 10:03 am     Chica chica boom boom also has a wonderful computer program if you're interested. The kids at my school love it. |
Grannie | Saturday, December 20, 2003 - 04:57 pm     Any one out there that lives in Oregon? I saw something about a school district in Oregon that made a calendar to obtain more money for their school district. Does any one know about this calendar and how to obtain one? Thank you kindly. Grannie |
Tabbyking | Saturday, December 20, 2003 - 05:19 pm     chica chica boom boom will there be enough room? my preschoolers wanted me to read that book every single day!! that and "love you forever", which made me cry the first time i read it! |
Tabbyking | Saturday, December 20, 2003 - 05:26 pm     our church used to do the calendar. they cost 50 bucks and there was a drawing each and every day for 50 bucks. christmas, easter and other big days were for 250 dollars, mother's and father's day were 100, etc. if they sold 750 calendars that was 37,500 dollars. the prizes totaled about 20,000, so the school made 17,500. they did the drawings monday night at bingo. they would draw for the entire week. since the thing was that you had '365 chances to win', they would put each name back and it could (and sometimes, did) get pulled again that same night. each time i bought a calendar, i won one time. but it paid me back for the calendar cost!! they were called raffle calendars. i'll bet you could google and find some place that has them; maybe even the oregon one you were interested in. my sister teaches in chico at a catholic school and they have done the calendar, too. i have mostly heard it with catholic schools, but that's just the circle i'm in LOL |
Heyltslori | Saturday, December 20, 2003 - 05:28 pm     Hey Grannie....is this it?? Oh My!! |
Tabbyking | Saturday, December 20, 2003 - 05:36 pm     lori, made me look! how funny! |
Grannie | Saturday, December 20, 2003 - 05:54 pm     Heyltslori - Wow. Within 30 minutes, a fellow TVHC'er came up with the exact calendar I was looking for. Thank you so very much Heyltslori. I saw this on TV a while back and forgot about it until a few days ago but could not remember how to find the calendar. Tabbyking, thank you for responding also. Grannie  |
Grannie | Saturday, December 20, 2003 - 06:09 pm     Psst Ms. Eggie, Please come in and see this calendar. Woohoo. |
Egbok | Saturday, December 20, 2003 - 06:29 pm     I'm heeerrrrreeeeee!...and all I can say is OH MY!! <Eggie ^5's Lori for the fast find!> |
Mamie316 | Saturday, December 20, 2003 - 09:41 pm     Tabby, I still can not get through I'll Love You Forever without crying! I think the kids have me read it just to watch me cry! I see their little faces staring at me when the man goes into his mom's room. |
Tabbyking | Saturday, December 20, 2003 - 10:04 pm     well, hell's bells, grannie. i didn't know you seriously meant THAT calendar! how funny..... i thought you wanted to buy someone a calendar where they could make money...not see bunsies! _________________________________ yep, i love the mama climbing into her grown son's window...with the ladder she carried on her station wagon...and the son rocking her when she was too weak to rock him. it is a wonderful, wonderful book! |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, December 20, 2003 - 10:59 pm     Grannie, our town puts out one like that of older women. It is pretty popular. There was just a write-up about it in the paper past couple of days. |
Heyltslori | Sunday, December 21, 2003 - 08:12 am     Hey Grannie! I'm glad that was the calendar you were looking for! I'd like to take the credit for finding it...but it was actually our resident help expert Draheid. (applause!!) I just like to be the one to post stuff dealing with naked guys. Good job Dra!  |
Reader234 | Sunday, December 21, 2003 - 08:30 am     Tabby, I always hated that last chapter in Love Me Forever, than I heard the author was asked by the publisher to put in that last scene!! I much prefer the Love Always, about the boy who cares for the puppy, who grows, then dies... or Shel Silversteins The Giving Tree, and of course the classic Fall of Freddie the Leaf by Lou Basgilio |
Grannie | Sunday, December 21, 2003 - 09:07 am     Heyltslori, At "my age", that calendar looks pretty good. I thought it was such an unusual way for the school district to raise money too. A big thank you to Draheid too then. Thanks again both of you. |
Grannie | Sunday, December 21, 2003 - 09:08 am     P.S. Tabbyking, guess that makes me a dirty old lady???? |
