I could do this one:
Or at the same time - there are also tools and rope on cover... so if you find it would suit better for part 2, put me down for that :)

Hahahaa... right.I thought it has to be just any animal.
From the rules:Any animal that could pull a human is allowed, even mythological.
Examples: dragons, dogs, lions, bears, unicorns.....
It's a great book for part 2 though. I hope you like it I loved that book.
I have two options
Or
Maybe Chava's Red Dog can be used for page jumping? (book with page count not many read and what we need the most)?And for Chariot we can find fearsome, strong animals like dragons etc!
Lets make an awsome chariot - maybe we get bonus points (or its a separate winning category) in the end for having the most unique or weird chariot. I would go for weird, btw.
So I'm looking books with unusual animals on cover.
Lets try stuck to the theme also... we are coming from under the sea ;)
...speaking person who wanted to put the cat in front of the chariot... lol

Fine with me! I'll post it in the page jumping thread as well
Unicorns?Here is unicorn:
first I was thinking to read this for "stone" in title", but maybe instead here then?
- what you think?

Well, it would be weird. I agree though of trying to get a weird mix of animals.

I'll take a look tonight about who has volunteered for what and get a list together as we all need to read for parts 1-4.

If we are going for weird we should find a book with a mythological creature...like a monster, mythological creatures, griffin, unicorn, dragon or something like that.I'm going to take a look at fantasy books to see if I can find something...
Like this?
Not voluntering (maybe for the first), but suggesting. I need to see how full I have planned my weeks.
Do dead creatues count?I think this beast on this cover would be awesome at pulling (and I really want to read this book soon):
Eli that beast is awesome! (He/it will probably eat my unicorn)At the end, after we have assembled our chariot I could draw a picture of it - make a photo and post it here.
It would be so fun to see how it all turned out on the picture, lol.
I would like dragons on front also!
Remember, the animal must show full body. It is acceptible if small parts are hidden
I haven't found an animal to pool the chariot on my tbr :(
Oh... thanks for reminding! I wonder If Potter's unicorn would qualify? Only the middle is behind that archway.

Neither of these would work as there isn't enough showing of the horse to fit the rules and the dog looks like a puppy which couldn't pull a chariot.
You do have this on your tbr
or perhaps you could read one of these for wheel on cover:

I think this book would be ok but I've posted to check with the Mods.

I read a lot of fantasy so I should be able to find something with a dragon on the cover. I can do a bit of digging later today.
Just remembered I have meaning to read this:
There is one awesome three-headed dragon, shown in full.

Wow!! Fearsome. I love 3-headed dragons!! (I have a 3-headed dragon puppet at work, it's my favourite)
3-headed dragon is super! Our chariot is going to be fearsome!!
I haven't found a fantasy book with a good animal on it yet. Feel free to post one and then I'll check if I can get hold of that book.
I posted some lists in message 23, the link Eli posted is also in there.If you are looking for another animal you can always try Listopia. You can find that through Browse - Lists and then do a search.
Don't write me down for one of the horses yet, because I think we better wait until all members have claimed a book. At the moment I'm reading a lot and am making good progress, so I think I could do a second book for this event. I might want to read:
Would those be acceptable?

They are fine as only a small amount of the dragon is off the page.
With only 17 tasks for this and currently 14 members we do have to wait until more people claim tasks before people can double up.
