traditional motif in France around Eastertime. No, just kidding. But
isn't it cute? I thought it was a stegosaurus when it was in the box
but now I see that it is indeed a triceratops. Or whatever kids are
calling them these days. (I still haven't gotten over the whole
brontosaurus/apatosaurus thing. These scientists, can't they get
things right the first time?)

I thought I would delurk and post a comment (been reading your blog for a loooooong time). I have to ask, was the dinosaur hollow or cream filled?
Nice to meet you! Neither. It came with little chocolates and candies inside... the chocolates were shaped like shells and fish (recapitulating evolution perhaps? actually it's the whole fish/Jesus theme). Too bad I ate them or I'd post a photo...
Bonjour! I love your blog! In celebration of Bastille Day, I am writing to inform you about a children’s book series my mom wrote about France, the Three Sisters series. I was born in Paris, and both of my parents are true Francophiles. The series follows my two younger sisters and I on adventures throughout France with Doodle, the French-American poodle. In each book (Elizabeth Goes to Paris, Katherine Has a Ball, and Charlotte’s Christmas Château), an item always goes missing, and in order to retrieve it, we are led on a chase around France. The books introduce the French language in an easy-to-manage way, and included is a dictionary in the back of each book! Incorporated into the series are French monuments, foods, restaurants, holidays, and more! They are educational yet fun and sophisticated. The process has truly been a labor of love for my sisters and me, and it is wonderful being able to share these books with my family, as well as you. I am e-mailing you in support of my mom’s efforts and talent. If you are interested in more information about the series, please feel free to contact me at thethreesisters.france@gmail.com! I hope you have a wonderful holiday and enjoy these remarkable books!
last week our group held a similar discussion about this subject and you point out something we have not covered yet, thanks.
