Flight, Volume 3 is one of the most visually arresting, sumptuous books I’ve ever seen. The art is simply glorious. Every page is a step into a dream of illustration by various illustrators, artists, and animators. As if this feast for the eyes (in its third volume in an astounding series) weren’t enough, the writing and storytelling in this book is simply phenomenal.

"Underworld," animator Michael Gagne's tale of a heroic young fox that battles a serpentine beast underground, is undeniably eloquent and touching. It is told visually and amazed me to no end at just how much could be said without words.

In “The Cloud,” longtime animation veteran Bill Plympton tells the story of a little cloud who just wants to float along into different shapes and whose elders try and get him to conform to their rules. Plympton makes a great statement in this story about standing out and marching to your own drum. I loved it and wanted more.

One of my favorites was Kean Soo’s “Jellaby,” a heart-wrenching story of a little girl having a tea party with a monster. Simply beautiful.

Kazu Kibushi is the editor and driving force behind the book and deserves to be commended for this sublime volume. This book is highly recommended and should be on every library’s shelf.
