Here are some examples of benches, which I found by googling, inspired by Amy's email. Thanks so much, Amy, the whole thing is delightful!
We could play a little game, where you try to identify the books or authors and I'll update the post later by adding captions to each picture and also give you the link to the article so you can see all the benches. Ready?
