A few pages in, we decided to read each paragraph as a different character! Characters included: Count von Count of Sesame Street, a zombie, a vombie (vampire/dracula), a used car salesman, Adam Sandler as an old man underwater, William Shatner as James T. Kirk, Animal, Cookie Monster, and a yoga teacher.

    Not what the author intended for her early elementary school non-fiction picture book on bald eagles, I'm sure! But it was awesome.

    LOL! That rocks!!! Love the creativity...especially the Adam Sandler underwater character.

    You'd enjoy my DH; he always read "Goodnight Moon" ala Christopher Walken's cameo in the Simpsons:

    Ok, at long last it occurred to me that I could just post it from my Dropbox account. Here's the link.

    Thanks skateycat! I plan to consult our library for the reference books you cited in the presentation. Much appreciated; thanks for remembering.

    You're welcome!

    I enjoyed researching the topic, and I was glad to share on the topic with my classmates who will also provide reference services to kids at some point in their lives.
