What an absolutely delightful book! Aussie author Shaun Tan is one very talented man! The artwork in Cicada, a short but beautifully written children’s book, is spectacular; the story wonderful.
Cicada has been working for the same company for seventeen years – a hardworking little guy who was completely unappreciated. But he gets the last laugh – as I did – in the end! I loved it, my grandchildren love it – it’s one to recommend highly. Magic!

This is my second reviewing of this one (for a challenge). The grandkids love it; the big kids love it (us!) So beautifully illustrated and written by Aussie author Shaun Tan, as are all his books. It's a book to read over and over again; one you'll never tire of. This magical read is highly recommended.

Shaun Tan is a master storyteller. Minimal text - emotive punch. Last few pages ... breathtaking.
Sure, it takes a minute to read, but it still packs a punch. Welcome to the world of the marginalised.
I listened to an episode of The Garrett with Shaun Tan, that discussed some of his process behind Cicada. Worth listening to as a sidenote.
