The Singing Bones

The Singing Bones by Shaun Tan, 185 pages

This is a compilation of sculptures, done by Tan, to illustrate several of Grimm's fairy tales.  Each tale just uses an excerpt of the story paired with a photo of the sculpture.  The sculptures are sometimes strange but always seemed fitting.  Overall, I thought it was well done.  This is also in adult non-fiction but could have some teen appeal since some of Tan's work has been for teens.  Adults who like fairy tales will like this book as will fans of tan's other books.
