"Tales From Outer Suburbia" by Shaun Tan
Product Description(Amazon.com)
An exchange student who's really an alien, a secret room that becomes the perfect place for a quick escape, a typical tale of grandfatherly exaggeration that is actually even more bizarre than he says... These are the odd details of everyday life that grow and take on an incredible life of their own in tales and illustrations that Shaun Tan's many fans will love.

MY THOUGHTS: As I was going thought my library data base looking for a book about Australia, this one stood out. And once I got the book home, I read it. It's only 96 pages, but those 96 pages are filled with great stories and awesome pictures. My library has this categorized as a Young Adult book, but I think it should be in the children's section. There are 12 stories and they are all told wonderfully with pictures. My favorite is Stick Figures. It's a different version of Telephone poles. Very cute story and a way I never thought of them. If you haven't read this book, please do, it's an awesome book full of exciting stories and great pictures.

MY RATING: 5
