I finally decided to clink on the "minimus" link, especially after I kept on hearing it as a blend between "minimum" and "Minnie Mouse" (which proved closer to the truth than I realized). It's delightful! (And especially Mme. Whiskers (Vibrissa) Thanks!

P.S. Did the "dress Vibrissa and Minimus" and was amused to find out (from the pileus) that Minimus is a freedmouse.

Right now we're doing the exercise where you do animal sounds with the correct verb endings.

"How does the puppy say, 'I bark'?"

"Barko!"

"How does the kitty say, 'You purr'?"

"Purris!"

It's hysterical!

This sounds wonderful. Is there a source for the Minimus materials here in the U.S.? I was only able to find it from Amazon when i looked around and I was wondering if it was sold by anybody else (and possibly a bit cheaper).
