Descriptions du produit

From School Library Journal

Grade 3 Up–Tan's collage artwork for this picture book is full of the wonderfully strange. When a humungous "lost thing" at the beach catches the eye of a boy previously occupied with his bottle-cap collection, no one else seems to notice–not even his parents, although it takes up a good part of their living space when he brings it home. The boy sets off to find a place for the thing within an industrial landscape awash in gray matter–pipes, gears, and a few concrete structures. On the periphery of the central illustrations are postcards, road signs, words and diagrams from an engineering textbook, and faux governmentflierssuch as the one from "The Federal Department of Odds & Ends," where the motto is "sweepus underumcarpetae." Readers are bound to become adept perceivers as they move through the book and delight in discovering these exterior notes. Tan's illustrations offer playful tributes that could serve as introductions to such artists as Miró, Duchamp, Dalí, Kandinski, Hopper, John Brack, and Jeffrey Smart. This book asks important questions: What does it mean to see things differently? What is important to notice? The lost thing suggests that what can not be fit neatly into a box has great potential to wake us (if we pay attention) and help us see the world anew. Tan is a singular talent.–Teresa Pfeifer, Alfred Zanetti Montessori Magnet School, Springfield, MA

5.0étoiles sur 5 A view to the future?, Mai 16 2004
Par Cam (Melbourne, Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Lost Thing (Paperback)
We can certainly hope not. After reading it was interesting to go back through and have a look at some of the artwork - if it can be called that - around the boarders of the pages. Because I'm currently studying Physics and Mathematical Methods for my V.C.E., a lot of it made sense.

But back to the actual story. Shaun Tan has put together an interesting look at life where government agencies seem to control each and every aspect of the citizen's life. We know of A Federal Department of... management, economics, tubes & pipes, odds & ends, censorship and information. The society is filled with all kinds of interesting buildings, where evry home has a 15-foot chimny, every intersection of pedestrian paths has traffic lights and where a concrete wall borders the beach.

And the cause is to fine a home for a lost thing (thus the title). I'd recommend this book to anyone who really wants to break free from the norm.

Just so you all know, I read this book, because for a Drama Examination I must base my characters around this book. I've certainly got an interesting task ahead of me.

This review is from: The Lost Thing (Paperback)
Wow, you know when you pick up a book and its simple but it makes you think. Shaun has once again done a fabulous job with the illustrations which always captivate its readers. No major meaning to the book just an enjoyable read.
