What is the book she is singing from?

  Sorry for such a mundane question, but there are many things I'm not into.

  There is a picture on page 35 of the book, "What Does the Bible Really Teach". Don't worry, I'm on top of the feeble rationale. I guess the book will be good in the recycling.

  Anyway, in this picture, the girl at the front is holding a book open. Is this a generic book or a specific WT publication she is holding? Is it their Song Book?

  It's interesting how they made this girl the focus, particularly with her eyes.

  Do I see a face in the pattern of the flowers, or am I going gaga in my old age? Probably am, anyway. Why does that guy in the middle have his finger pointing? Must stop this.

  I think it's just a generic looking book with no infrence to any existing(past or present) songbook

  What I want to know is...is she supposed to be "singing the New Song"?

  Let's see ... BS/JWs are into their 12th song book now (based on Proclaimers book listing), 7 of those have been published within the last 100 years (use that as a standard average per century), so depending on which time period the little girl is in during the Millennium (which will come very very soon), it could be anything from song book version #13 to #712.

  ... Unless the little girl can't read and she's singing from the Creation book.

  Oh and yes, the face of the cookie monster can be found in the flowers, and one of the trees looks like it's whistling. Why is the guy in the middle pointing his finger? I'm guessing he's either seen another cookie monster face in the flowers on the far left, or he's examining the contents of his nose.

  Ann,

  You are lovely!

  I was wondering if the guy pointing with his finger was a self-portrait, giving a personal message.
