The smallest bone is the stirrup bone, in the ear; it is .1 inch long.

I'm so curious about what movies you might see over the holiday break. That's always one of my favorite activities, to eat popcorn, drink soda, and watch a great movie! Especially when it's cold outside.

Let's see, new movies you might want to see:

1. Charlotte's Web

I've read the book, but haven't seen the movies yet—it looks pretty fun!

2. Happy Feet

I did go see this movie. Great music, funny penguins, you might notice that they talk about people eating too much fish. Worth thinking about!

3. Night at the Museum

I've always wanted to spend the night at a museum. Like in the book Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. I hope the movie is as amusing!
