Have you ever heard of the classic 1950's storybook of
The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Grey Bridge? I hadn't either. But it exists, and the lighthouse the story was based on is located in Washington Heights, about a mile from where Pete and I lived this summer. We took Amelia to visit the sight memorialized in this charming tale of bravery and stalwart vigilance.
She wasn't as taken with the lighthouse as I would have wished, but she certainly enjoyed playing in the rocks on the grounds.
What delighted me the most wasn't the lighthouse either, or the bridge or even the rocks; my favorite part of the excursion was the appearance of Little Toot himself, immortalized by the Andrews Sisters.

Little Toot!! I watch that on youtube from time to time. I still love that little animated story! Along with Jonny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet.
she's a big toot just like her dad.
