Welcome back to school, everyone! I hope everyone had a great summer. How could you not with the fabulous weather! We went to Ireland, first to Dublin to meet my cousins, and then to Belfast so that my brother-in-law could participate in the Police & Fire Games. Then it was off to France to visit my son, and my husband’s relatives. I want to share with you what I spotted in Belfast and the connection I made with a children’s picture book.
Isn’t this a wildly painted taxi? But which book character does it remind you of? Send me a comment as to which book character it reminds you of? You have one week to post your answer before I show a picture of the character I’m thinking of. Let’s see who can make a connection! 
A young student guessed who the book character is! It’s Elmer, from the books written by David McKee.
