Doug's front page kindergarden story prompted me to post this...
Like Doug's story, I volunteer each year to read an airplane book at one of our elementary schools on National Read Across America Day, or Dr. Seuss Day. I started doing this four years ago, and they ask me to come back each year, and apparently many of the classes ask if "the guy that wears the 'Cat in the Hat' hat that flies airplanes" is coming to read to us this year???
This year I read to a third gade class, and the whole class just lit up and listened to the whole book-The ABC Airplane Book.
The questions afterward would've lasted for hours if the teacher didn't have a time schedule to keep. Some of the questions I remember are "How fast have you flown?" "How high" have you flown?" How big is the airplane you fly?" How many have you flown?" "Do you have any dogs?" and "Are you married?"
If you have a chance to do this, please take it. The kids love it, and you may end up being the one who inspired a child to be a pilot one day!
