Toward the end of every school year, I visit Mrs .Jones' elementary school class in Newburgh, N.Y. to read "Duck Enough to Fly," "Icky the Hungry Heron," and "Swan Babies."

After the readings and discussion, student got their choice of a signed copy of "Duck Enough" or "Icky."

Here are parts of their thank-you notes.

(Thank you, Mrs. Jones' class!)
