Rules of Summer by Shaun Tan
4.0
3.5 stars
This book made absolutely no sense to me. And yet...
And yet...
There's something emotional about the stark, industrial nature of the illustrations. And some of the "lessons" learned during summer are poignant and touching.
"Never wait for an apology."
"Always know the way home."
The book make me think, and that is no small feat with a picture book.
(In full disclosure, my daughter and her friend did NOT like this book. I think it's one of those children's books that meant for adults.)
