Previous puzzle:

     

Who/what have we got here, and what order does Dr. Shapiro think they go in?

Answer:

From "smallest" to "largest", it's Minnie (mini) Mouse, Little Richard, a medium, Big Ben, and a Giant Panda. I trust you can determine which is which.

This puzzle was largely an excuse to feature legendary rock-and-roll pioneer Little Richard, who recently passed away at 87. If you've never heard his music, here you go.

Three cheers for solvers Josh M., Hazel, Leo S., Jessica, Maddy, Jason, and members of the Johnston, Gregg, and Yetman households!
