Griffin & Sabine: An Extraordinary Correspondance

"Griffin & Sabine: An Extraordinary Correspondence", written and illustrated by Nick Bantock, is an amazing transpondence between Ms. Sabine Strohem and the artist Griffin Moss. Sabine is a follower of Griffin's art, and a strange pen pal alliance is formed. This book is amazing! There are actual letters for kids to take out of envelopes to read, mind blowing post card art work, and the mystery of the relationship between Griffin and Sabine. The most incredible element of this book are its pictures, if the reader cannot manipulate a letter out of an envelope, the they can think upon the meaning of the vivid and surreal elements of the beautiful post cards. This book is rather complex in its story plot, but the images will stir the imaginations of any aged reader; My four year old niece loves to look at the pictures in this book and make up her own story and read her own letters as she sees them, proving that this is not a book that would be lost on young readers. And as always, this brings to my mind a really cool idea for an excuse to make art, kids could make their own post card art and write letters to one another, so you see art really does have a place in about every discipline!
