well, she's real. there is an actual holly hobbie behind holly hobbie (nee denise holly ulinskas, married to douglas hobbie). and now she writes children's books about two best-friend pigs. named toot and puddle, or "puds." who live together. in a place called – get ready – woodcock pocket.
seriously, ms. hobbie? i mean, the illustrations are charming, but i can barely get through the text when i regale my girls with the stories, and i have to leave the room when my husband reads them.
it's as bad as what my friend remembers as the big woody era, after the movie toy story and all its ancillary paraphernalia came out, when every other little boy was shrieking, "i want a big woody!"
oh, and in other porcine-wtf? news, the minnesota zoo is again doing its cutesy farm babies exhibit this spring, and the sponsor is again...hormel.
