Tan, S. (2009). Tales from outer suburbia . New York, NY: Arthur A. Levine Books.
Tales From Outer Suburbia is an unusual collection of short stories and illustrations set in an Australian suburb. I found some of these stories to be cute and interesting, while I felt that some were slightly disturbing. Some of them reminded me of the Far Side comic I used to read in the Sunday comics. Every illustrated story is slightly off in some unusual way. I am still not sure if I liked this book or not. It was intriguing, and the illustrations were great, but I felt like the stories were just too short to capture my attention fully. Some of the stories were no longer than a paragraph.
