I would pay to see this made into a feature. Shaun Tan's The Rabbits actually made me want to be an illustrator - I was 17 and picked it up in our school library. Blown. Away. Was lucky enough to get The Lost Thing and The Red Tree signed. The Rabbits will always be my favourite. The Arrival is just an amazing epic of a silent film.

It has great power, which can really only be appreciated by actually reading the images sequentially, as intended. Just flipping through the pages and glancing at images will not give you the full effect. I can't urge people strongly enough to spend some time with this book. It is beautiful on all levels.

I never bought this book though for two reasons: I really don`t like the cover; I don't think it fits to the rest of the book... and I don't like the paper on which it is printed. For those fabulous drawings, the paper needs to have the same quality. I think that the drawings are fantastic. I never bought this book though for two reasons:

This is one of my favourite books of all times, along with Tales from Outer Suburbia -- quite different from this one, but you MUST check it out. I LOVE, LOVE Shaun Tan’s books.
