What a nice visit I had today at the Franklin Community Middle School in Franklin, Indiana.  I had a first for me, too.  For the past four years, my biggest audience had been 700 . . .today, I pushed that number up a notch with an assembly of 750 kids!  

I wondered how that would work, but I have to say that the kids could not have been better and it went great! 

I was charmed by the library displays of my books.



And how fun to see lobsters in Indiana!  "Where did you find them?"  I asked Trish, the media specialist.



But my favorite part of the display was the duckies. Trish told me that the kids had been rearranging them into various scenes all week. 



Today there was a duckie wedding!

I have a community event tonight at the school, and then I fly back to Maine tomorrow.  Although this has been a quick visit, I love Indiana, and it's been a big treat to be here!   :-)
