We have a whole lot of Scholastic books floating around the house, although I have to admit that we get them at Goodwill, where I can indulge my passion for buying books without breaking the bank.

Very nice artwork - I believe the company is "Play with Your Food". I left Scholastic on good terms - returning to the military for better pay (longetivity helps), though they had top-notch benefits. The funny thing is, I could go back there and ask for my position (still) even though I've been gone nearly five years now... And they'd probably take me back. Until later, SGT Dave - "Childrens' books reflect the adult world in a shallow mirror - but with far more depth than the authors intended if you look closely." All,

I particular favor the ones that are a single fruit carved or otherwise altered.....the combinations don't seem as impressive. Great to see how some people's minds work. Fabulous!!
