She looks a lot like Kiki, just above her at the top of my blog. Kiki almost seems to be looking down at Fiona. I plan to mention the book again soon, along with four other books I got this week, but Fiona won't be pictured in that post. Maybe she'll garner some new admirers on my blog today.Bonnie Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813549471704485150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-470804740550317082012-11-28T16:01:05.971-06:002012-11-28T16:01:05.971-06:00The movie and the song were favorites of mine when...The movie and the song were favorites of mine when I was a kid.

I'm still learning how to use the new Blogger platform (and still not in love with it, but I'm slow to adapt). . <br /><br />Very cool that you got a version with a CD! I figured Peter Yarrow was the Peter of Peter, Paul and Mary but I hadn't bothered looking it up to make sure. <br /><br />Fiona thanks you. She is an excellent model, yes?Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-4610789655236448622012-11-27T20:27:56.719-06:002012-11-27T20:27:56.719-06:00Oh, yes, and Strawberry Fields, Purple Rain.

What happened to it? Anyway, I praised the model and asked if you would inquire of Fiona whether or not she thought this would be a good gift for my great-grandson who will turn two in a couple of weeks. Too late now, 'cause I already went out and bought it! I got the hardback version with a four-song CD recorded by Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul, and Mary) along with his daughter Bethany. I was especially swayed by the "Fiona Kitty Seal of Approval" ... plus the fact that I loved it when it came out 50 years ago and still sing along with it whenever I hear it.Bonnie Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813549471704485150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-91019091147166286062012-11-27T15:49:04.389-06:002012-11-27T15:49:04.389-06:00All I can remember about Puff the Magic Dragon is ...All I can remember about Puff the Magic Dragon is how much it upset my father. Said it was about drugs and I wasn't allowed to sing it! He lumped it with Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

And, since it's a board book, no worries for Mom. Little one can go off and "read" on her own (or sing)!
