Wowed!

Shaun Tan and

Kazu Kibuishi are

Awesome.

I would say that Kazu Kibuishi's work, which is usually comic book-style but is published in books rather than individual installments, qualifies as Children's Books. His Amulet series is an enormous hit with kids and comic book readers of all ages- up there with Watchmen on the bestseller lists this past year! They are really gorgeous. His Copper comics are also super-exciting to look at...

Kazu, and I, are also enormous fans of Shaun Tan, who contributes to Flight (which Kibuishi edits as mentioned 2 posts ago...). His books are also equally appropriate for kids and adults... and are-just-gorgeous. Check out: The Arrival, Tales from Outer Suburbia and the Red Tree!
