I purchased several different skeleton animals like this, but this was the only one that required assembly. I was stumped! I fiddled with the jaw bone and could not get it in. I asked a friend for help. She looked at it, used a little more force than I had, and presto! There it was! Most annoying when someone is able to do something you hesitated to do - but I was very pleased she had done so. It is the largest of the pieces I purchased for Halloween, and they are so cute that they will sit on my shelf year-round. Friends are intrigued by them being skeletons, but agree with me that there isn't anything macabre about them. Love them.

I was delighted with this little cat. I recently spent an hour or so a day, for 10 days, watching a group build a skeleton at the local museum. My little car did not require me to do anything and he looks very much at home on my shelf for Halloween, but he will remain there all uear round.
