>I brought back from Vermont a pound each of chocolate and penuche fudge for office sharing and have been industriously monitoring which is going faster. The results are surprising: although the chocolate is maintaining a consistent edge, the penuche is holding its own. Perhaps the Horn Book is even more New-England-parochial than we had all thought.

I share this thought with you because Kitty told me that I should reserve comment for another day on the amazing number of picture books we've recently received about pooping.

>I believe it was in fact an MA brand, Gail, sorry. Here's what is weird about Vermont: whenever I asked about local ice cream, I always got the same response: "omigod, you HAVE to try Ben and Jerry's!!!" Did they think I was from the Azores or something?
