Shaun Tan – The Lost Thing

A quirky tale about finding your place in the world – the bestselling book on which the Oscar-winning animated film is based.

A boy discovers a bizarre-looking creature while out collecting bottle-tops at a beach. Having guessed that it is lost, he tries to find out who owns it or where it belongs, but the problem is met with indifference by everyone else, who barely notice its presence. Each is unhelpful in their own way; strangers, friends, parents are all unwilling to entertain this uninvited interruption to day-to-day life. In spite of his better judgement, the boy feels sorry for this hapless creature, and attempts to find out where it belongs.   źródło opisu: Hachette Children’s Books, 2010 źródło okładki: http://www.hachettechildrens.com.au/9780734411389/
