The Gashllycrumb Tinies is the antithesis to instructive & safe picture books. Gorey tells the tale of 26 children (each representing a letter of the alphabet) and their untimely deaths in rhyming dactylic couplets, accompanied by the author's distinctive black and white illustrations that emphasize the banalness of death. Look, I think instructive works are important for children but I also think life and the world is a scary place. We should shield them from the specter of death. I think Gorey was a mastermind for creating this little, sarcastic but important picture book. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

My favourite frames are those in which the manner of death is almost unspoken: the child reaching her hand up to open a door, unaware of the bar-room brawl on the other side; the inquisite effete young boy gazing at a package, and so on. If nothing else, this is a work of sublime inventiveness. ( )
