A fellow traveler took the photo of me in Egypt on the camel, but I had fun using Photoshop to add my book and even make the camel's lip hang over it. My poem "Crocodile Tears" in SPLISH SPLASH mentions the "river Nile," and I got to sail on it.<br /><a href="http://www.joangraham.com" rel="nofollow">JBG</a>Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02123781411013543388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-66210218984370562652010-06-09T21:54:30.137-05:002010-06-09T21:54:30.137-05:00Joan,

I know I told you my Kindergarteners were hooked on the poetry book, but camels too?

Laura, that parade is an amazing memory--there were also crocodile hats, daisy hats . . . . Thanks, Sylvia, for this lovely opportunity to CONNECT!<br /><a href="http://www.joangraham.com" rel="nofollow">JBG</a>Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02123781411013543388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-81387729829416288662010-04-07T00:00:12.555-05:002010-04-07T00:00:12.555-05:00Thanks to each of you for stopping by.

I lo...This is so cool! What a great idea, Sylvia. <br /><br />I love Joan's poetry. So deceptively simple--and so obviously fun! Great story about the kids in their shower caps. That totally makes my day.laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-60772404950417201272010-04-06T07:35:02.318-05:002010-04-06T07:35:02.318-05:00Sylvia,

It's great to see how poetry is connected, but also how the "poets" are connected as well.<br /><br />Joan-your work is wonderful! I have always loved Splish Splash and Flicker Flash and have shared them with many of my first grade students over the years.Mandy Yatesnoreply@blogger.com
