Lost and Found / Shaun Tan / 116 pages / Notable Children's Books - Older Grades

Wow!! Even the cover pages of this book are mesmerizing!  Usually they serve only to protect the title page and of little, if any, interest.  (Of course, there are exceptions.)  Literally filled with tiny sketches, the cover pages portend a great treat is in store.  Originally published in Australia, Lost and Found is a collection of three stories about "how we lose and find what matters most to us."  The artwork in this book is truly, unbelievably, exemplary and demands conscious, concentrated, studious appraisal.  Though-provoking!!

"Sometimes the day begins with nothing to look forward to and things go from bad to worse..."
"Some things are just plain lost."
