One of the dangers of letting people know you have an interest in all things Snow White is that they tend to believe you. And as a result, these are the kinds of gifts I get during the holidays--this one came from my wife's boss at a Christmas party a couple years ago. Don't get me wrong, I think this Fisher-Price "Little People" set is pretty cool, but it does feel a bit odd when I'm the only one opening preschool toys in a room full of adults.
