Cicada by Shaun Tan
4.0

This is a beginning book by Shaun and wow, it is really saying something about working in a cube. The nephew laughed and laughed at the Cicada in a business suit. Still, when both children saw how the cicada was treated, they were sad. Why would people treat him that way.

After 17 years of work for a heartless company, the cicada claimed his freedom and laughed at the people all the way to the forest. It was a sad story and the children loved the ending when the cicada gained its freedom.

The nephew gave this 4 stars because he liked the cicada and wanted better for him. The niece gave this 3 stars because the story made her sad, then happy.
