Title: Tales from Outer Suburbia
Author/illustrator: Shaun Tan
Publisher: Arthur A. Levine
Year: 2009
96 pages
Beautiful, weird, lovely little stories of a somewhat off-kilter suburbia, with exquisit illustrations. Really, I can't get enough of Tan. Whether this is a children's book is debatable, but a certain kind of child, and adult, will like it very much. "Broken Toys" is my favorite, a tiny netsuke of a story that implies so much more. Really, you might want to just order all of Tan's books, since that's probably what you'll end up doing, anyway.
