Fri, 17 Oct 2008 08:34:31 CDT

"Hi! I'm Speed Demon 2! I have a mission to transport "Kids Share"-Storybooks, through cross-cultural sharing. My first stop was Union Elementary School in Montpelier where Mrs. Kelley and her 5th grade students told wild stories of life in Vermont. I am the right man for this mission! My master, Ash Brittenham made me super human by designing a special jet which will propel me to other schools where I will share the tales".
