On August 1, we’re inviting everyone to draw or color a picture of an iguana, hang it in your window, then take a walk through your neighborhood to see how many iguanas you can spot. Ask your neighbors and friends to join you in participating. You can even look outside around the Barrington Area Library to find a few! 

Our Iguana Hunt is inspired by the “bloodsucking” iguanas of our Book of the Summer, Look Out for the Fitzgerald-Trouts by Esta Spalding. Fortunately, paper iguanas won’t attack, though Allison found out the hard way just how ferocious they can be in “real” life… 

Find more activity ideas inspired by Look Out for the Fitzgerald-Trouts on our Book of the Summer webpage or YouTube channel!
