I had a little trouble finding the place since the school was in an unusual location. While their school is being renovated, Franklin has temporary classes set up in a large warehouse.

And a big thanks goes out to all the Indian Hill Bears and the Franklin Eagles! I hope the Bears enjoy checking out my books from the library and I hope the Eagles can keep the giraffe noises quiet until their school is finished. But if anyone gives you trouble this week, just blame the noise on your friendly, neighborhood visiting author!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nUPDATE: I want to thank Mrs. Renfro&#8217;s class for all the wonderful thank you cards they mailed to me. It was very thoughtful and full of very cool art!
