A clever meme, and a great way to find out about new books.

That cute dragon on the cover reminds me of the Shrek dragon. Sounds like a fun book, Judy!

I find that quote hilarious! Are you sure it's a children's book? But it's your outrageous header that stuns us. We are big balloon and kite people. And have never seen anything other than a round hot air balloon. I'm amazed that there other shapes? What a wonderful shot you got. I wonder if it would fly just as well as the standard shape.

Brilliant.

Have a lovely weekend, Squirrel Queen! Your quote is appropriate for your name...

Wow - from bath house to Queen. Who knew? LOL!

Here's mine:

"Three days after April died, Charlie woke up on the floor of Sam's room, a toy airplane cutting into his shoulder."
