Description
An endearing, quirky & captivating look into Varon's creative process. It combines short comics stories, essays, & journal entries where adorable, awkward anthropomorphic animals walk the streets of Brooklyn & a surprising, sideways revelation is waiting around every corner. Includes the backstory behind 2007 graphic novel, Robot Dreams. Beautifully drawn 2color tales of a s'more-stealing (yet repentant) raccoon & sweltering dinosaurs who cool off w/a visit to the ice cream truck as well as informational and exquisitely detailed depictions of beekeeping & the Mexico City subway system. Fun Easter eggs-a tiny flier bound into the book's pages & an intricate paper doll set. The selections' introductions & a few of the pieces themselves may hold more appeal for adults than children due to their mature (but not inappropriate) themes. A highly recommended purchase for fans of Varon's previous works & for lovers of offbeat, big-hearted comics.-Laura Lintz, Henrietta Public Library, Rochester, NYα(c) Copyright 2011.
