This is a review of 'The Seeing Stick' by Jane Yolen. I've chosen this link for the book, because aside from reviewing the book, it also includes images from some of the pages. This is a beautiful picture book! The story is also beautiful and would work really well with a study of fairy tales or fables. The quality of the paper and printing etc on this book is incredible, and is a great example of creativity in the multi modal picture book realm. It is not just words and pictures, it is a tactile book that adults appreciate.

Extraordinary wordless picture book. Suitable for secondary and senior secondary students. A work of Literature told in images. Brilliant for visual literacy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToRVZZeYLoQ Making Visual Narratives. http://www.shauntan.net/books/the-arrival.html from Shaun Tan's website.

Shaun Tan's exquisite latest work! Beautiful picture book, and this website is loaded up with info, videos and a teachers guide. Shaun Tan is a genre in his own right with unique works of art in book form. All his works are appropriate for older readers, secondary school age and adults.

Beautiful picture book by Shaun Tan with a powerful storyline about social isolation. Suitable for secondary students. Has been recreated as a stage play by Barking Gecko Theatre Company (appropriate for young adults).

Two brother, Leigh and Jason, are inseparable. Jason is conscripted and sent to fight in Vietnam, they are divided not just by distance, but by their beliefs about war.
