text I've been trying to encourage strangers to read this so I must love it.

It happened again. I fell in love with another book by Shaun Tan. The book I'm talking about is Lost & Found and it's absolutely fabulous. There are 3 short stories collected in this book: The Red Tree, Lost & Found, and The Rabbits. As with the other books by Tan, there is a fabulous mix of fantasy...

Have I ever mention how much I love Shaun Tan? Because I love him. I've read two other books before this one and loved them. Lost & Found is no exception. I adore this book! Everything about it.

Three picture books are included in this volume so I will review them separately but overall the book is breathtaking.

Tan's work is distinctive and melencholy. "The Red Tree" is sad, but hopeful, about a lonely girl. "The Lost Thing" is found, but where should it live? "The Rabbits", written by John Marsden, is a powerful allegory of European settlers in Australia.Library copy
