Tamara Drewe by Posy Simmonds
4.0
Sped through this in two sittings. Fun, large pages with fun, simple illustrations and many large chunks of text. I enjoyed how [a:Simmonds|296241|Posy Simmonds|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg] layered the chunks of text and the illustrations on each other, so that in some cases, you could read and look interchangably. And when that's not the case, the flow is usually very easy to follow.
The illustrations remind me of the work of Stephen Cartwright, who did a lot of Usborne books. But maybe that's just me. Definitely adult, with lots of intrigue caused by the arrival of a very worldly young woman into the English countryside. A little like reading a slightly trashy celebrity gossip novel. In a good way.
