Mr. Pinkwater or Pinkwater Representative,

I am a librarian for Town Center Elementary School in Coppell, Texas. Yes, the state of horned toads and chili dogs. I am currently putting together several webpages to my school site, and I took a picture of a student holding up a nice copy of your book, Irving and Muktuk, for an addition to my online catalog webpage.
