This Web Reading Guide is
designed to lead media specialists to additional books
that might be of interest to students who've read and enjoyed The Earth,
My Butt, and
Other Big Round Things by Carolyn Mackler. Mackler's book is in the
center of the page.
Surrounding it are different aspects of the book or related subjects through
which
connections to other books can be made.
How to use this page: Depending on what aspects of the book your
student liked,
you should move your mouse to that particular section. When the mouse is
over
that string of text, it will change to a list of additional books.

A note about the Javascripts on
this page: The page runs using a basic "image swap" javasript.
Essentially, for each of the eight images that change, I have put a piece
of javascript into the
header and body of this page. The script describes the two images for
each and what they
should do and what triggers the action (in this case, a mouse over). This
is useful because, prior
to learning this javascript, I would have probably created hot-linked
buttons linking to eight
sparse web pages for the eight categories. This saves me from having to
create eight additional
pages, which also saves space on the server and reduces downloading times
for the user.
