I think would be good for kids — I think they’re better at loving stuff without having to understand it (viz Alice in Wonderland) than big people.

It is wonderfully refreshing to see a reviewer come right out and say “I loved this even though I’m really not sure I understand it.” It reminds me a little bit of one of my favorite literature professors who, before getting into the allegorical overtones in Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” started the class by saying the story scared the hell out of him every time he read it because he could imagine something awful like that happening to his family.

#2: Good question which I was wondering myself. My soon-to-be 5 year old daughter likes “daddy’s books”, i.e. the graphic novels and comics I read to her at night, especially Tintin, and the spectacular “Wizard of Oz” adaptation by David Chauvel and Enrique FernÃ¡ndez. More likely than not, I’ll pick up “Three Shadows” and see if it’s appropriate for now, or for later…

Wow! This is quite a review. Entries like this one are the reason I check Boing Boing often, I’d hate to miss a hidden gem like this appears to be. Thanks Cory!
