But a young maid in a fine lady\u2019s house isn\u2019t supposed to wonder so much, so one day Maggie is thrown out into the street with only a tiny heart-shaped locket for a keepsake. Who is the lady in the locket?<\/p>\n<p>A little dog named Oliver is pushing his nose along an icy sidewalk searching for his lost mistress, or at least something to eat. No matter how hard he looks he can\u2019t find either one, but he does see a girl with round blue eyes and a golden locket around her neck. The girl calls him \u201cLucky.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Snippet:<\/strong> For once in his short life, Oliver was happy to be an ordinary mutt, with parts of many kinds of dogs all mixed together. The part of him that was bloodhound would help find Bertie. With one last look at the cozy house where he had been raised from a pup, Oliver headed into the wide open world.<br \/>\n_____________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>April 2012 Carnival Of Children&#8217;s Literature<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kidlitcarnival.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/carnival_logo-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Our April 2012 host is <a href=\"http:\/\/childliterature.blogspot.com\/\">A Curious Thing<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add YOUR post to this carnival by filling out <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/viewform?formkey=dDZodnN0STU2eHoyVWtRMVFwUkRwZ0E6MA\" target=\"_blank\">this form<\/a>.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The deadline for adding your post is April 26th.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The carnival will go live on April 28th.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>__________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>STEM Haiku<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.asuen.com\/images\/stemfriday.tiny.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Share your own <a href=\"http:\/\/stemfriday.wordpress.com\/haiku\/\">haiku<\/a> about a STEM topic during <a href=\"http:\/\/www.poets.org\/page.php\/prmID\/41\" target=\"_blank\">National Poetry Month<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">(<strong>STEM<\/strong> is <strong>S<\/strong>cience, <strong>T<\/strong>echnology, <strong>E<\/strong>ngineering, and <strong>M<\/strong>athematics)<\/p>\n<p><em>Percentages<\/em><br \/>\nA little of this<br \/>\na little of that, bit by<br \/>\nbit, add up to one.<br \/>\n<em>\u00a9 2012 Anastasia Suen<\/em><br \/>\n__________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51q%2BGJ0FqEL._SL110_.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><!-- Site Meter --><a href=\"http:\/\/s31.sitemeter.com\/stats.asp?site=s31asuen\" target=\"_top\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s31.sitemeter.com\/meter.asp?site=s31asuen\" alt=\"Site Meter\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><!-- Copyright (c)2006 Site Meter --> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1598846310\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=kidswrite-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1598846310\">Read and Write Sports: Readers Theatre and Writing Activities for Grades 3-8<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Copyright \u00a9 2012 Anastasia Suen All Rights Reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 2012 Online Workshops The May 2012 workshops will begin on Wednesday, May 2nd.
