Tales from the Inner City by Shaun Tan

5.0

This is quite a cerebral book. It is a collection of fantastical stories and poems about animals. Each story and poem is followed by a beautiful, two-page spread illustration. The stories vary greatly in their emotional impact. Some move you to tears and others make you laugh. I have always admired Shaun Tan, but now I have even more respect for his genius brain. I'd love to use these for writing activity starters. I'll be posting a full review for this one soon.
