  4. I love this! I am in the process of teaching the 5-year old grandson this song - he LOVES it! So, in addition to the great mural (which, BTW looked pretty scary in the thumbnail!), it brought a big smile to my face this morning. I am going to save this for him to see when we get back home - he will smile too!

  9. It appears to be done with spray can which makes it all the more interesting and striking. Well done to the artist.

  13. Hi J--Your hippo definitely has a "don't mess with me" vibe. His teeth have something in common with my post for this week where the beard started out as teeth and then morphed into something else. I don't know the song you cite, which vexes me to no end. But not so much that I don't thank you for your contribution to Monday Mural.
