LEGO rock star

LEGO rock star, Sean Kenney, creator of Philadelphia Zoo's incredible Creatures of Habitat exhibition (click here to see Elliott with the 95,000-brick life-sized polar bear) visited the zoo this past weekend and brought 35,000 LEGO bricks with him.

Elliott and H made this two-dimensional, albino camel!

And bought Sean Kenney's Cool Cars and Trucks, a book of amazing machines for E to build with G.

Elliott reads his new book while waiting, patiently (this book is gold, gold, gold), to have it signed by Sean Kenney. The event brought to mind a quail farm H once visited. The door to the quail shed opened and the floor was covered with quail -- thousands of them and yet the only sound was the faintest rustling of feathers. Put hundreds of LEGO-obsessed boys in a marquee and all you'll hear is the faintest click-clacking of bricks.

Elliott meets the master!
