Even if you do wind up accidentally eating all their ice cream. I suppose it has a good message, though, about being kind to people who’re different and if you’re different to hang in there you’ll eventually find people who compliment your personality and will be your friend. “Big Mouth” by Phi Craven is another that didn’t seem to fit with the theme and was one of my least favorites, both because the style is not really my thing and it also wasn’t as playful as the others. The ten different authors/artists bring a diverse style and feel to the book, but most seem to have a similar cheeky sense of humor. It’s a collection of stories edited by Kazu Kibuishi, who also has a delightful story in the book. However, it was a completely adorable story with some of the sweetest art I’ve seen recently, so I didn’t care too much that it didn’t fit with the theme.Īnyhoo, this is one of the ones that looked nifty from my local library. Maaaaaybe “Snow Cap, 2nd verse” by Matthew Armstrong could be considered a “flight of fancy,” but that’s stretching it. Amazon’s description says that the book is supposed to deal with themes of flight, but there were at least two that didn’t touch on any kind of flight I could think of. However, there are some nifty graphic novels that meet or exceed the page count that are slightly faster to read than say, Kushiel’s Dart. I read a few really long books (I know….boo-hoo) and had some life happen earlier this year that really messed up my pace. I’m in a crunch to get some numbers on my Cannonball Read list.
