Sammamish, WA — I visited another beautiful school today, Rachel Carson Elementary. Look at this cool-looking building!  In the main entrance was a warm greeting: 

Here’s a peek at the library:And here’s a bird’s-eye view of one of my presentations:You can see, even from this height, that the students were super-duper listeners! I was very impressed.

Here’s a deer’s-eye view of another presentation:They were very enthusiastic participants! Thank you, dear readers, for sharing your morning with me. I hope you had as much fun as I did!

Thank you, Theresa, for taking these photos!

And thank you, Kathy, for these beautiful flowers! These were waiting for me at my book-signing table:Aren’t they gorgeous? I just love ’em 🙂 !!! Made me want to sign R E A L  S L O W so that I could enjoy them longer — but then I got to take them with me! Wow! THANKS!!!!

And these were also waiting for me — PDKs (Personal Disaster Kits):A couple of mini PDKs:And one for surviving a long car ride?Aren’t they fantastic?!!!

I missed you, third-graders, at the signing, but I hope you enjoyed your field trip to the Real Story of the Three Little Pigs and weren’t too freaked out by it.

Thank you, young readers at Rachel Carson Elementary, for all your enthusiastic support! You ROCK!

And thank you, Michelle, for giving me a ride in your brand-new car after school. It’s fabulous! Don’t park it in the principal’s space, or else! (Read Ruby Lu, Brave and True, to find out why.)
