I also recommend BENNY’S BRIGADE, an adorable tale of a tiny walrus illustrated by the great cartoonist Lisa Hanawalt. You can buy THE NIGHT RIDERS, which is on sale half-off, here.Īnd (self-promotion) you can check out an interview I did with Furie on the book here. The book is part of a new line from McSweeneys called “McMullins,” which combines reprints of lesser-known picture books with new ones by alternative cartoonists. It’s a simple tale about a frog and a rat who go for a nighttime bike ride, meet up with some weird creatures who turn out to be friends, and then they all head to the beach together.įurie does some crazy-detailed pages with creatures lurking in every corner, but despite the seeming threat of danger, the book is more about revealing all sorts of wonders around every corner, and will make you smile more than once. This is a really cool book by Matt Furie, whose artwork is colorful, surreal and kind of creepy…but overall, very gentle. There’s tons of books like these out there, but these are a few of my favorites. These are some picture books that are so weird and wonderful and crazy that adults can enjoy them as well. Happy New Year! Thought I would get a few recommendations down as I got back to work. ![]()
