Time Travel: One Father's Gift to his Son Becomes a Gift for All America's Children

With his father's help, a young man in Seattle stepped back in time to have historic experiences. He met Lou Gehrig, FDR, Jonas Salk, Thomas Edison, and even his own great grandfather and learned secrets to their strength of will, dedication to purpose, and love of country. The result, accomplished through advanced digital photography and historically accurate text, is Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 28, 2006 -- If your dad told you he could put you on the Moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, would you believe him? And what if your big dream was to jump into the cockpit with Charles Lindbergh as he took off for his historic flight across the Atlantic Ocean--would you say, "Dad, can I please have that for Christmas?"

With his father's help, a young man in Seattle did step back in time to have these experiences, as well as meet Lou Gehrig, FDR, Jonas Salk, Thomas Edison, and even his own great grandfather. He learned secrets to their strength of will, dedication to purpose, and love of country.

Photographer/author Michael Class made all of these magical things come true for his 12-year-old son, Anthony, by using advanced digital photography. After securing permission for photos of historic moments--and endorsements from people in those photos or their families--he placed Anthony in the cockpit of the Spirit of St. Louis with Charles Lindbergh, on the moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, in the laboratories of Thomas Edison and Jonas Salk, on Normandy beach on D-Day, at Ellis Island, and much more.

Father and son worked together for nearly four years to capture adventures of 20th century American heroes. The result is a museum-quality history book, Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame, full of photos and stories of Anthony "meeting" and learning exciting lessons from inspiring Americans.

Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame is the Independent Publishers' Award-Winning Book that lifts spirits as it stimulates young minds. Embraced by the homeschooling community as a primary history text, it is a memorable gift for someone of any age, available now at a special Christmas 2006 price of $25 exclusively from www.magicpictureframe.com and Amazon.com.

"The book's vivid narrative and captivating photographs transported me through space and time: I felt that I was once again standing on the surface of the Moon in 1969. Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame 'tells it like it really was' in America's early space program - the adventure, the risks, and the rewards. I almost believe that Anthony was there! I think that parents and teachers will appreciate the inspiring message this unique history book holds for America's next generation. I recommend this book to all young Americans, may they take us to the stars and beyond." --- Dr. Buzz Aldrin, Apollo 11 Astronaut, the second human to walk on the surface of the Moon.
