Well kids, you did it. Everyone who answered my Week 6 questions, got them right, even if their answers were a little different. The first question was about Norman Rockwell's painting, "The Art Critic." It's kept in the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge. The second question was about life sized statues of Dr. Seuss characters like Horton, Thidwick, and Gertrude McFuzz. The statues, and one of the man who created them, are at the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden at the Quadrangle in Springfield. All of you gave either the name of the museum or garden, or the right town, so you were all correct. You get the last clue, which is really just a continuation of the 5th clue.
You may think you have beaten me at my game, but you aren't finished. I have given you six clues--six pieces of a puzzle, which you still have to fit together. I am with the Rock. I look a lot like someone who could have stepped off of the Mayflower and onto Plymouth Rock in 1620...but I just look that way. I'm not nearly that pure.
When you think you've figured it out, tell your librarian. If you need to do a little research to figure out where I am, your librarian can help you. Now that summer is almost over, I need to move on. I will probably come back and steal something from you next year.
