review:
This book is a great wordless graphic novel that shows the process of immigration. Using a written language the author invented for this book, it's easy to see why moving to a new place can be confusing, heartbreaking and lonely. It's also neat to see the way technology and various animals/plants can seem to a person in a new country, as well.

Great book for teaching homonyms to middle elementary grades. This book, unlike "Hey, Hay!" by Marvin Terban, seems to use language familiar with all contemporary kids.

Excellent for a fun way to teach homonyms... some words are slightly less used in modern language but many are appropriate for middle elementary grades. I prefer his other book "Eight Ate" - all the same advantages with more contemporary language.

review:
I love the concept of this book- Davy Rothbart made a 'zine of cut-and-pasted items people find anywhere. Out of context, the items are often hilarious and poignant. My millenial brain finds it difficult to read handwriting though, so I skipped over some notes/lists/letters that were written too sloppily. My loss, though, I'm sure.
