Word on the Street Festival

K helped D run a table at the Word on the Street Festival at Library Square downtown this year. It's a big festival all about books. We saw a book reading by the author of the Stanley books, did a scavenger hunt, and and K got to walk across the stage with the summer reading club medalists from our branch, because he read (and recorded) 50 books over the summer.

This is K spinng the wheel at our table (for the Libray Association's Information Policy group). When you spin the wheel, they ask you a question and if you're right or not you get a candy! K's question was about Internet filters. See if you know the answer!

Q. Can you see if there's a filter on your Internet or not, just by looking at the outside of the computer?
A: No! (K got it right, did you?)


This is a picture of an electric eel being tickled by seaweed while it's reading the newspaper. K drew this as part of the scavenger hunt.

This is all K's loot from the festival - he really cleaned up! K would like to add that we rode a bus that we don't usually ride to get home from the festival.
Bye! Love, Kobi.

Comments:
I love the Stanley books especially Flat Stanley. Last year, Flat Andrew visited us from North Carolina. Our nephew, Andrew sent him this way to learn about Michigan. Then Andrew used all the information Flat Andrew gathered and gave a report about Michigan. Dave and I had so much fun showing Flat Andrew. Flat Andrew even went with us to Chicago and was photographed with Eric at Northwestern when he gave his PhD defense. I had to make Flat Andrew some boots and a ski jacket as we had a snow while he was here. Flat Andrew just loved the snow, but the real Andrew was so disappointed that he wasn't here as he had never had a chance to play in the snow. Maybe Flat Kobi can visit us some day!

I really enjoy seeing and reading about all the things that you do. Thanks for taking the time to help us get to know your family better.

Love,
Barbara (Andrea's Mom)
