captivating illustrations from Van Allsburg's fantastical book.  The ten
grand prize winners, who will be chosen at random, will receive a set of
all 16 of Van Allsburg's award-winning books for themselves and for
their library!  The program will kick off with the start of the
2007-2008 school year.  If your library would like to participate and
