A bit of proportionality, please!

I came home last night to see Penny Cooper reading aloud from this paper (Federalist No. 59). The Reds were disappointed that despite the promising title, "The Future Size of the House," it does not take into account the relative size of humans and dolls at all
A bit of proportionality, please!*


It's a paperback copy, but The Federalist is 599 pages long. Though they are
disproportionately strong, that's a bit much for small dolls.

Well, this post is a lot more fun than the State of the Union. Those kids know that you’re never too young to learn about representative democracy.

Nice dance moves. I think that signature move is called The Sprinkler. I'm sure you could still do it. All that book-shifting builds muscle.

I love Strictly Ballroom. I want to dance on an Australian rooftop to a cover of Time After Time.

THE FEDERALIST PAPERS ARE 599 PAGES LONG??? And no pictures?? No wonder I have never cracked it.

MICHAEL: penny Cooper wants to run for “Being in Charge” because she knows the most (so she thinks!) but the others say no, everyone has to share.

VIVIAN: Dancing on Australian Rooftop could be your next book! Or a chapter...

The Federalist Papers could use illustrations—a graphic novel of No. 10... Hm. I could truly see that!
