However, with some research and education, parents can find a suitable solution to ensure their children remain comfortable, healthy and happy each school day.<br /><br />Detail article at:<br />http://www.kidbuxblog.com/education/backpack-for-your-childAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19637244.post-2483739910039412692008-08-12T11:18:00.000-05:002008-08-12T11:18:00.000-05:00That's so funny/bizarre. Before you mentioned penguins I thought you were going to say that the kid had hidden in his own backpack; like it was a really big packpack.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and all of the comments on this one are cracking me up.

One too many Shedd Aquarium penguin/backpack stories to pass the smell test (and one can only imagine how a backpack smells after holding a wet penguin for a couple hours on a muggy Chicago summer day). <BR/><BR/>But highly entertaining. <BR/><BR/>I am so happy no animals or humans were harmed in the retelling of these stories, though, if true, both kids should have been shot. And I'd watch Miss Dub around those geese if she's got her backpack. And if you come across a warren of green gingham bunnies, all bets are off.P Daddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00609248296715599359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19637244.post-79145426898260870162008-08-11T10:35:00.000-05:002008-08-11T10:35:00.000-05:00Wait a minute!!<BR/><BR/>I thought that I was the "penguin-backpack-story-lady"!<BR/><BR/>Sheeesh ...
