Dan Wardell Meets The Bird Guy!

After a few days of vacation it was back into the action
with morning story times at the Carroll Public Library!

Their library shares the same building as the police station.

Good thing we were close to the cops too, because it is a
crime to cover this handsome face in bug stickers.

The lovely Carroll stewardesses got me on my
dragonfly just in time, and it was off to Audubon.

The town of Audubon was named after the famous bird guy,
John James Audubon! They even had a statue of him!

If I was ever made into a statue,
I would like to guard a castle as a gargoyle!

But if I was a statue I wouldn't be able to ride these
awesome Audubon Public Library summer reading prizes!

Dan's Wise Advice of the Day:
Never dangle fancy trinkets near a gulper fish!
Your sparkly warklies might be gulped!

Hollywood and Private Eyes!

Yesterday started out in the fantastic city of Denison!
They have a sign just like Hollywood!



In fact, the librarians insisted I treat them like movie stars!



I discovered some mysterious footprints, and I had the kids take off their shoes to see if they were the ones walking on the walls!



They all looked pretty innocent,
and it didn't look like any of them had stepped in black paint!



I arrived at my next stop in Carroll to a group of 260 waiting to hear my story!



One family brought along their Clifford and Curious George books
and asked me to sign them!



I didn't realize the Carroll Public Library had a room filled with hypno-magnifying glasses!
Don't stare at the wall too long or you'll become hypnotized!



The Carroll Public librarians were so impressed with my show
that they presented me with a key to the city.



Wait a second - that's not a key! It's actually my very own "private eye"!



As a special bonus today, I wanted to share a book report with you that my great friend Grace presented to me last week.



Dan's Wise Advice of the Day:
Never feed your sack lunch to a goat. If he starts to choke, it will be really difficult to perform the Heimlich Maneuver on him.
