p. 366 – Pocahontas 1/4-Scale Statue:
Finally, a way to get kids interested in history again…statuettes of famous folks with magnetic removable tops! Marie Curie, Florence Nightingale, Teddy Roosevelt…the possibilities are endless.
This statue is about 50% more statuesque than the real girl would've been. That she has a pet wolf is a sad joke. And I'm not sure how the "magnetic removable top" works, but it sounds salacious.
