Lost & Found by Shaun Tan
5.0
Shaun Tan has quickly become one of my favorite author/illustrators!
After reading "Tales From Outer Suburbia," and finding that its reading level was just too high to use as a book club selection for the adult literacy program I work for, I was BUMMED! It was so creative and surreal and the illustrations were simply stunning. So, I sought out another book to use and found this one. I think I have found my book club book!
This book, like "Tales" is full of busy, surreal illustrations and while the stories are short, I think our adult literacy students will appreciate their meaning. Loneliness and defeat, but definitely not without hope. The entire book is BEAUTIFUL even when the pictures are bleak. I really wanted to choose a book that would challenge our students to stretch their imaginations, and this one will do just that.
*happy dance*
