Since my favorite, The Lorax, is already spoken for, how about Where
the Wild Things Are? Has anyone claimed that one yet? Where do you
plan to put the trail?

Great idea! We will do 'A Fish Out of Water' in honor of our very
large and appropriately named goldfish, Otto.

Do we choose our own location for the box? -- or do we send our
carving to you?

What's the proposed TimeTable on this project? (Which sounds
wonderful, by the way)

Two of my favorites as a child were:

Half Magic - Edward Eager
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/1287/half.html

David and the Phoenix - Edward Ormondroyd
http://www.purplehousepress.com/David.htm

(Hrmmm .... Both written by an "Edward" - Whassup wit dat?)

Not having grown up in this country, I must confess that I would like to lay
claim to "RUPERT" and would be inclined to relive some of his wonderful
adventures. I have two glorious books from the DAILY EXPRESS series, one
dated '72 and the other '78.

If you're not familiar with this children's classic here's a great site on Rupert

I would be very interested in beeing a part of this one. I am a very
new letterboxer/carver but I would love to put my hand to this. My
grandchildren are now reading the books my kids loved best....one of
everyones favoirtes was "where the wild things are" I will look forward
to seeing the stamp that is done for that one. Please let me know what
to do next. I am in Canada (Ontario)....where are you thinking for this
trail?

Wouldn't it be fun to put together a trail of our favorite children's
books? It could be a lot of fun to see the diverse selections. Hopefully
it might even inspire a few trips to the library or book store.

RTRW & SKW already said they were putting a box together "Blueberries
for Sal"

I have a trail in mind and if you would like to contribute a box please
let me know.

We'd love to help, but can't decide on a book. There are so many to
choose from! How to choose just one? Definately count us in, and
we'll manage to narrow down the field.

Patrick & Amy

I will volunteer to do "Misty of Chincoteague." My very favorite kids
book. My carving skills are a little..um..rustic shall I say? But I'm game
if your willing! :)
Lone Pony

ps. Barb of The Weaver Family, we also had an Otto named after that fish!
May he (all three) rest in peace! We read the covers off that book!

May I please volunteer to do Beverly Cleary's " Runaway Ralph " ?
Loved this book as a kid .
I may have to take him off the motorcycle and put him on a Vespa !

This would actually explain a whole lot about me........

Hi Irishtinker,
hope i'm not too late to contribute a stamp for your children's book
series.
'Tarka The Otter' is a classic English children's book based on a
true story, not sure how well known this book is 'State Side'.
Author Henry Williamson became enthralled with the wild scenery of
Devon during a summer holiday.
He later returned to live in an idyllic North Devon thatched cottage
with his strange family of dogs, cats, gulls, buzzards, magpies and
one otter cub that were free to come and go as they chose.
It was the otter cub which stimulated him to write 'Tarka the Otter'.
He rescued it after its mother had been shot by a farmer, and
persuading his cat to suckle it along with her kitten.
Eventually the otter cub became domesticated and became Henry's
constant companion.

By coincidence, the book fits nicely in with Letterboxing as Tarka
spent much of his life on the river Taw.
High up on Dartmoor the source of the river is within one half mile
from the fabled Cranmere Pool letterbox, the first letterbox ever.
To view the present letterbox, which is still much visited go to
http://www.richni.co.uk/dartmoor/cranmere.htm

Hope I haven't given too much of the story line away!
Best of luck with the project irishtinker
If you would like this stamp, just send details for snail mailing.
Regards
AKA Squeeeezebox

Sorry ! try this instead
