Tales from Outer Suburbia is a collection of stories turning the quirks of neighborhood mysteries into whimsical stories that are always enjoyable. Each story presents a different outlook on a strange occurence to the reader. From a stranger in a diving suit, to growing your own pet (from the ground), this book is full of fun, interesting ideas. It puts a new spin on the occasional out of place events in our neighborhoods we see all the time. The pictures are just to illustrate the story, and make sure you know that the book is literal, and not metaphorical. The book might be somewhat boring at times to a younger reader due to somewhat higher vocabulary, so I wouldn't reccomend the book to anyone lower than 6th grade. I like it very much. All in all, the book is fun and interesting. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Did you know that we put animals into space. A dog who is abandondoed by his owner and becomes a stray. The dog is caought by dog cathers and is given to the dog space program. After years of trianig he is sent into outerspace and dies. I would not tell someone to read this book because the pictures are terrible and some of the words where not even in Engish I give this book 2 stars .

 The Arrival is an all illustrations book about a immigrant traveling through unknown cities. He is searching for a new home for his family. The book isn't very clear at first, and it may take a few minutes to understand. It is more scenery than plot, and the plot isn't clear until the midpoint or so. All in all, the pictures you in, whether the story makes sense to you or not. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a picture book. I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
