Summary: Not really a kid's book
Comment: While the illustrations are beautiful and the story is clever and amusing, this is not a kid's book. I have a six and an eleven year old and both found it boring and could not relate to the sly humor and the characters' veiled identities. I think most young children will not know Moby Dick or Don Quixote. The audience for the book is somewhat ambiguous and that is why I only gave it 3 stars. It is a beautiful book!

Summary: Parents can help kids absorb the somewhat difficult theme
Comment: Roberto Innocenti and J. Patrick Lewis' Last Resort tells of an artist's imagination which abruptly disappears. His quest to recover it leads him to a remote seaside hotel where he finds other seekers. The illustrations are gorgeous and parents can help kids absorb the somewhat difficult theme.
