Good idea John,
I spent some time in NYC this summer and got a shot of
me with main character in Pam Conrad's book Call me
Ahnighito. I have a picture with Ahnighito (a huge
meteror that can be seen in the Museum of Natural
History.)
I also stalked the wild horses of Assateague Island
and got pictures to use with Misty of Chincoteague by
Margarite Henry.
Fun summer! Barb
