She'll be so surprised.
Smiling as I admit, I studied the photo, long enough, that I can see his eyes looking into mine, without the photo.
The outfit is perfect, but the photo is so real, he 'talks'.
I hope you have lots of photos on him for the book that you will write, you can use this photo, to start with, and have him tell all kinds of tales.........about his travels.
Kids will love him.
You could also make stuffed toys, that looked like him, to go with the book.
What fun you could have.
Or, start a thread with him and let the Freepers write the book.
He could be like the "Baby Jesus" figure stolen last year on the east coast, it was returned in August, with a scrapbook of all the places it had been, complete with photos.
Thanks for sharing him.
