The Wolf's Secret by Myriam Dahman and Nicolas Digard, incredibly illustrated by Júlia Sardà Portabella, is a gorgeous romantic fairy tale.
I got it from my local library. You should too.

It was a mediocre burger at the airport, which is somehow even worse. And he hashtagged burger. Was he particularly impressed by this one?
Yeah it was right after the 4 Fine Gael MEPs voted against saving drowning refugees. The motion lost by two votes. So the disgust is entirely FGs own fault.

I am still salty that Iguanodon and Allosaurus have been short changed by the Jurassic Park films.
They are cool and deserve more than blink and you miss it cameos.
I want to see a pack of Allosaurus take down a sauropod like lions.
And an Iguanodon just shank a predator.
