Let the holiday reading season commence! McLean is a Canadian National Treasure, and his story Dave Cooks the Turkey is a classic Vinyl Cafe listen. It also makes a delightful short read on a chilly December night.
If you've got the time, it really is worth listening to him tell the story, or can be found here: https://youtu.be/4VmMUM0HW6E?si=jpl-AEC1hSrbw2io

This one was hit or miss for me. Funny in parts, annoying in others. The fake bird names and over-the-top commentary sometimes overshadowed the genuinely interesting bird facts. The art, though? Gorgeous. I kept reading for the illustrations more than the jokes. A good pick for fans of weird humor and bird-related rants. 🐦😤

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

#BookHaul part 3 from #BN #BarnesandNoble in #Sarasota — we said hello to our favorite bookseller Miss Sandy and I swear I was very judicious in my choices! (That‘s my story and I‘m sticking to it!). I‘ll also post many books that caught my eye but didn‘t make the cut today 😜

This is not a Shaun Tan book I am used to but I loved it! It's about a fake inventor named Henry Archibald Mintox and the fake stories about the inventions pictured in the book. The pictures are actually really from the Powerhouse Museum. I thought the pictures, and the stories were great and hilarious.
