  4. Looks like a very good bunch of books. The once crowded sky looks particularly interesting. It seems to take some common themes and present them in a very uncommon way.

  17. I enjoyed Snapper even though it didn't have as much about birds as I thought it would from the looks of the cover. It was a quirky little book.
