Heres an item that works for solo moments and group gatherings.

The great Mor Khan is coming from the city to choose actors for his new film. The birds of the jungle are in a flutter. What should they do to bag a role? the smart city crow steps in to help and also settle scores with Vulture. In this zippy take on filmdom, the bird-loving author cleverly casts actual bird species and builds the story around their looks. Rich visuals and zany text combine realism with a dash of comedy and a splash of over the top movie magic.

The kind of thing that feels like a wise purchase.
