“I see that sort of thing less and less these days though. Maybe there aren’t many lost things around anymore. Or maybe I’ve just stopped noticing them. Too busy doing other stuff, I guess”. Though this wasn’t my favorite Shaun Tan work, it was still enjoyable! I’d give it a 3.75/5 stars. I’m interested in reading more by him!

I liked this book—not quite as much as The Arrival but close enough. I loved how fun the blurb in the book flap is, it’s great! The art is cool—but I preferred the art in The Arrival a lot more.
