Tales from Outer Suburbia by Shaun Tan
4.0
I have now finished all the books my library has by Shaun Tan. They have been so much fun. His words and illustrations make up young adult books that stand out. They stand out because some of the subject matter does not appear in other ya fiction, because the illustrations are marvelous and because Tan seems to see the world from a slant. His viewpoint is not typical.
In this book all fifteen stories were wonderful, but I especially liked the tale about Eric and the one titled Our Expedition. The style of Tan's illustrations are always appropriate for the story he is telling.
Like the other Shaun Tan books, I believe everyone should read these. They don't take long, but are lots of fun and always leave you with something to think about.
