thanks for the follow-up!

thanks, Jon, for all this info, and again for taking the time to explain all this.
I'm going to check out the photoshop video. Yes, I really need to see a youtube demo, I'm using a hotspot now, but when we return home, I'll check out your video and look for a demo.

Jon, thank you so much for taking the time to explain all these methods. I do have photoshop and powerpoint. Is there a video option on photoshop???
What is a digital SLR,..is that a camera? And which of these methods would you use for a demonstration with audio?
Best wishes,
Judy

Hi, has anyone made a video to post on Facebook and/or website, and if so, did you make it without a smartphoone (which I don't have)? What equipment do you need, and what is the most economical way to do it? thank you, Judy

Denise, I don't know where you are, but here in Lake George, NY, it's 57 degrees (F)! April in July, good weather for writing, maybe!

thank you for doing this, Carole

I like Bookbaby: I appreciate (and need!) their personal attention! And the quality of print is excellent

that's true, the story could be the same, but it would have to be rephrased to rhyme. Madeleine rhymes in the French and English versions, I think..

First, no, I never ran into Adolfo, though from his age, he may first have been in Antarctica about the time I was there (1961-62). I was on the western side of the North Antarctica Pe..."
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain these great books, Theo. I think that it's actually easier to rhyme in Spanish and French than in English!

Theo, the Wise Owl Factory mentions that the books are for pre-k which could include ages 3-5. Would one of the other books, Rufus or Fuzzy be more suitable for a (just turned) 3 year old?
You have had a fascinating life! I hope that the Cohen Islands aren't near that part of Antartica that just broke off?
Did you by any chance run into our cousin, Adolfo Eraso, a glaciologist from Spain, who spends (our) winters in Antartica and summers in the Artic circle? He's in his 80's now but as far as I know he's still at one pole or the other

I will try to remember this for when my 3 year old granddaughter is older. I know that this is the sort of book that my daughter would love her to have.

Theo, what age group is your book for?

very impressive, Theo!!!
