Welcome to Litsy!

Any other Shaun Tan fans here? I‘m packing up books because we have dry wall repair/painting in several rooms-mainly the rooms w/the books. Before I pack away these I had to look at some of them again. 🙂📚❤️

My review of this book can be found on my YouTube Vlog at:

Enjoy!

A collection of several Tan works. My favorites were Grandpa's Story (about a strange pre-wedding scavenger hunt), Broken Toys (a figure in a diving suit appears in broad daylight), & Our Expedition (siblings living in the suburbs make a bet on the accuracy of their father's street directory). These are surreal allegories illustrated with Tan's great artwork. Several of these are fairly short, which seems standard for Tan. I loved this one.

My friend Jen recently posted a photo of her new dress (she hopes the worst thing people say about her is that she has too many dresses with watermelons on them) and I thought Littens might like to see her Shaun Tan-inspired tattoos.

#TimbitTunes Day 8: #TheSuburbs reminded of Shaun Tan. There are 15 stories in this collection, ranging from the movingly haunting to the outrightly disturbing; some have sociopolitical issues embedded in the narrative notwithstanding its surreal elements – all ingeniously crafted, skillfully woven, splashed with just the right amount of mystery, the remarkable oddity that‘s calculated yet moving in free verse.

#FallIntoReading Day 26: Hands down one of my #FavAuthor(s) is the unparalleled Shaun Tan. I had the privilege of interviewing him a few years back whereby I asked him what his red tree was and his position on the place of the odd, the surreal, the strange, the complex, and the weird in picture books for children. His answers are fascinating. One of the proudest moments of our website. Here‘s the link: https://wp.me/pDlzr-5Jr

Oh, Shaun Tan. How is everything you create so beautiful?

A great collection of very short stories with incredible illustrations. Some of the stories seemed a bit deep for juvenile/YA readers but those are something for them to grow into and for adults to enjoy!
I've read a few of Tan's children's books to my daughter and have now added several more to our TBR after the lasting impression this book left on me.

This is a YA book of short stories but I think it's pretty appealing to 31 year olds, too. Excellent writing and awesome illustrations/design layouts.

So far, so amazing. I think I love Shaun Tan.

Shaun Tan's Eric is kinda #insect-like. And very sweet ❤️

I love Shaun Tan. Simple as that. And I really need more of his books in my life. This awesome, little book contains weird stories, illustrations, that are to die for, and potential to be read again and again. I am so glad this is in my life ❤❤❤❤

My next #readathon read 📚 I have been looking forward to reading more by Shaun Tan, and now I can't wait any longer!

#Bookmail right on time for the #readathon later 👌📚

Only a little under three hours to go! 👏

So, so good...short stories with gorgeous graphics. Loved every minute of it!! Everything about this book is exquisite-end pages, dedication, acknowledgements...cover to cover brilliance!

An odd, beautiful graphic novel. Definitely worth the read, if only for the gorgeously draw poem about poetry.

Thanks to @angrylilasian for reminding me of my undying love for Shaun Tan. 💝💝💝💝💝 I love every little odd scrap that comes out of his mind. Seriously. I have yet to encounter a book of his that I didn't like and wish I had millions of dollars just to buy all his artwork. #australianauthors #FeistyFeb
