In "The Red Tree," a girl moves through her day with a sense of escalating ennui. In "The Lost Thing," a boy discovers a most peculiar object. "The Rabbits" (text by John Marsden) is a colonization fable. In this compilation of previously published picture books, Tan's superb art--paradoxically inviting and alienating--is tailored to each story without any loss of his signature style.
