 Oh yeah.  It's one of those books that kids will lagh and laugh and adults will laugh and laugh and scientists will laugh and laugh - but all at differnt parts.
 
 If you like Gary Larson humour you'll love it - if you don't like it - well ... you are dumb (ha ha)
 
 It is a book about "fairy tale" nature and the real nature and how sometimes things we like (cute and fuzzy things) are really quite nasty and the slimy gross things - (i.e. worms and dung beetles) are really our best friends.

I love it when a writer is clever enough to appeal to several audiences, with equal appeal for all.

I'll have to keep my eyes open for it.  I adore Gary Larson humour.

  ABZ isn't really a kids book, but quite amusing.

LOL, ok. Umm, why do you need a mustache to guy books at Value Village?

You'd probably enjoy it Michel.  Our VV Boutique is limited in their book department sometimes, but there is another place like it here, that has a huge book section.

  Michel, you might not find what you are looking for, but the fun part is, that sometimes you find things that you never knew you were looking for.  I've gotten so many great books....both novels and coffee table type books.

LOL! So very true.. you are making excuses as to WHY you cant go for a walk on a dark evening through a park as you are too tired.. or why you cannot stop in at their place for one last quick drink!

Oh so it was you who told them eh?

LOL! Nope... the 'feel' would do it all on its own.

Ah long hair... when I was young... mumble mumble

Ha! So you miss it too hey? I was telling miss Starfishie about that.. I miss my hair and was having trouble convincing her to let me grow mine long again.


Well, to make this legal in the ebony lounge thread... Starfishie and myself had a few snifters of scotch last night right before bed to ensure we would sleep quickly

I'm contemplating if it would be ok to paint the chimney.  Not the whole thing, but the part that goes through the little chimney room on the second floor.
