All will surely love his latest, The Rock from the Sky, a picture book in five vignettes with a distinct, absurdist flavour and Klassen’s trademark muted palette. * The Observer (The New Review) *\u003cbr\u003eA new Jon Klassen is always a treat, and this deadpan gem will make you simultaneously laugh out loud and marvel at his visual wizardry. -- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSon (4): I really liked this book. It was really funny. I like how the animals shouted at each other lots. My favourite character was the one from space. I want to read it again. 82 stars out of 5.\u003cbr\u003eDad: I thoroughly enjoyed this book as an adult and may have to borrow it from my son to take into my class! Klassen, well done! You've gained three more fans from this story who are certainly going to try and purchase your other books.\u003c\/p\u003e * Toppsta *\u003cbr\u003eThe story is very simple, the artwork is remarkable and the story itself has a kind of sophistication that adults and kids both love. As with his other books, Klassen’s use of deadpan dialogue between two characters in short sentences brings so much humour, and the build-up of tension as to what will happen when the rock falls is absolutely brilliant. * BookTrust *","brand":"Jon Klassen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48752449618137,"sku":"9781529503975","price":18.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/9530\/8441\/files\/91zxsZmr-IL._SL1500.jpg?v=1779889745","url":"https:\/\/www.arielbooks.com.au\/products\/the-rock-from-the-sky-1-new-york-times-bestseller-a-hilariously-dark-and-deadpan-picture-book-comedy-of-friends-fate-and-a-mysterious-object-from-the-bestselling-and-multi-award-winning-creator-of-the-hat-trilogy-ages-4-5-6-7-9781529503975","provider":"Ariel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
