Description Concering Books The Lost Thing

A kid finds a lost 'thing' on the beach where he's scavenging for his bottle-top collection. The thing is a large, freakish creature but no-one else really notices it--it's simply not a part of their familiar day-to-day reality. So the kid takes it upon himself to try to find where the lost thing belongs...

The Lost Thing is a gently humorous story that will be read and enjoyed by a wide range of ages. While the narrative is full of typical thoughts of an observant and caring young person, the illustrations provide a surreal and thought-provoking backdrop for this 'lost dog story' with a definite twist. The Lost Thing is the first book that Shaun Tan both wrote and illustrated.

Piece About Books The Lost Thing

PERSONAL RESPONSEI like this book very much because of the magic that it has.

The creature looked like a mix of a big red boiler with crab claws and tentacles. It seemed like everyone was too busy to

I won this absolutely delightful signed copy of 'The Lost Thing' by Shaun Tan. It is brilliantly done, very cleverly illustrated, and a beautiful little story. Shaun Tan is a wonderfully talented Aussie, and everyone should have a copy of this book in their collection!

This incredible book was made into an academy award winning short film. The Australian artist and illustrator, Shaun Tan, is the Midas of the visual world. His innovative illustrations speak volumes.Plot: A boy , still curious due to his youth, discovers an odd creature at the beach, a 'Thing' that appears lost. In this mundane monotonous world of sepia, The Lost Thing, goes by relatively unnoticed. The boy sets out to find the Lost Thing a home. Themes: The Lost Thing explores how curiosity and

I read this straight through in the Oxford Street Bookshop (took less than five minutes), and only did the 'you're not crying in the shop!' thing once, which is good going for a Shaun Tan.Then I went and bought it, and spent a total of an hour pouring over all the hundreds of tiny details on the train. So beautiful, and utterly wrenching. He writes of kids' magic: all the things you see before the grown up world trains you out of seeing what's really there.
