Summary: If Edward Gorey was A.A. Milne's editor...
Comment: An instant classic, Tony Millionaire's collection of Sock Monkey comics is ideal for adults who have not become too sensible and for children who are too good for the usual antiseptic, focus-group oriented fare that passes as children's entertainment these days.
Do you remember John Bellairs' 'The House with a Clock in it's Walls'? Imagine that atmosphere meshed with pre-Disney Winnie the Pooh, with touches of 'The Wind in the Willows' in the dialogue. Filter that through an Edward Gorey illustrative sensibility (although Tony Millionaire is the better artist) and you have a good idea of what to expect here. Except it's also a comic book and its funny.
Buy this book for your children. It will delight them and scare them a little bit, which I assure you builds character.

Summary: It all ends in flames
Comment: Falling somewhere between graphic novel and comic book, this is some of the best art and cool weirdness I've seen in a long time. The story is the least of it; like most of Mr. Millionaire's work, it all ends in mayhem. The exquisite artwork, with its vintage look and dense and imaginative attention to detail, along with the quaint dialogue makes this a cult classic. Great fun!

Summary: Good, but too dark for kids
Comment: This book is too dark and violent for young kids, but grownups will appreciate the nostalgic and melancholy, yet sometimes silly, stories. The drawings are exquisite. An unusual work of art.
