Since my daughters are collecting Schleichanimals I bought the new Schleichbook for them. The 75 anniversary book.

And now I noticed that they write about smurfs also??

I will let you know if anything intresting is inside when I recieve it. :-D

The information is like this:

"What does a brontosaurus have in common with Maya the
Bee and a family of penguins? Are the Smurfs related to
the beasts of the African savannah? These are questions
that inevitably spring to the mind of anyone inspecting a
child’s toy box anywhere in the world. The answer is provided
by the name of Germany’s foremost toy manufacturer:
Schleich®. From lifelike animal figurines to comic figures
and fantasy heroes, they all come from the South German
town of Schwäbisch-Gmünd. On the occasion of its 75th
anniversary, the company now looks back on its long tradition,
inviting readers of all ages to discover the history and
living present of this wonderful world of toys.
• Look behind the scenes of a toy factory!
• A book for young and old, children and parents!
• High recognition factor!"

I second that, but I used to have a calendar shaped like this about twelve years ago. :)

Yes,

it looks funny. :D Strange shape??

And you could probably use it as a toilet seat if you want, if you have a very small toilet. :-?

Steve it is linked from this site.
