Who is this book for? It definately seems like more of a picture book for grownups to appreciate than anything for kids. Too abstract for younger kids to truly connect with and too slight for the older set. Artwork is very accomplished, but pretty baffling overall.

At first it made me sad but the second to last line had me laughing out loud. Really nicely done.
