I had so much fun reading all of your guesses! I'm so excited to report however that we now have our answer, left as a comment on this post, from a very reliable source :) :
It's a clay figure, made by an elementary-age student, of a flightless bird made famous by a book whose title begins with the words, "Mr. Popper's ______s."The child who made the figure is now an adult, a mommy, and the person who shot the photo! :-)

Thank you John for clearing this up!!! Now I can get back to my daily life and return to a sense of normalcy. :)

Oh good, the mystery has been solved. And, yes, the source is very reliable [laughing].

I can totally tell it is a penguin now that I know. That's a great story. And fun to hear that you are getting credible readers on your blog.
I'm SO glad you got an answer! I was checking in to find out if the riddle of the freaky hand thingie was solved!
I have the catalog and that thing really freaked me out!!! And a shameless plug for Sonlight: I've been using the Kindergarten curriculum w/ Horizon's math this year with my just turned five year old. We LOVEEEEEEE it!!! It's our first year homeschooling and it's been a blast. Teaching is the easy part, keeping my three year old and one year old out of trouble is a whole other ballgame!

Okay, how did the co-founder of Sonlight find your blog??? (That is who John is)
Other than that, I am excited that you are looking that closely at their curriculum. Even if you just use it for reading at night, all those lovely books are great to have on your bookshelves.
Tamara I have no clue! I think sometimes websites have trackers that show other sites linking to or mentioning them? Interestingly they're right nearby (Sonlight is out of Littleton I believe.) And yeah, while I don't know that I'll use their program, it is a great guide for good literature!!!
There are mystery blog trackers out there. A friend of mine did a post on how much she liked Luna Bars and she ended up with a free case from the company and a spot on their blog. I should do a post on how much I like winter boots. I could use a good pair!

"aaahh... a penguin... I can see it now... with the little beak and eye... huh.. interesting"
