  Sue.

  To avoid a lowsuit,
  we're just call her Sue
  (or "that girl who likes
  to sniff lots of glue").
  The reason i know
  that this is the case
  is when she blows her nose,
  kleenex sticks to her face.

  Lui è un altro genio, e i disegni sono bellissimi ♥.

  Tim Burton

  not only my fave director but also a talented artist, this book half way between a moderate horror and a kid book is simply amazing. Sad and deep. Such an amazing book to re read every year...

  The beautiful poems of this movie genius explain why Tim Burton still have great ideas for his movies. If you like his movies, you MUST read this book!

  As a huge Tim Burton's fan I can't be very objective about his work. I love his twisted fantasy... PERIOD.

  The only negative aspect about the book is that it is too short.

  oyster boy by Tim burton

  As many have said, the drawns of Tim Burton are always weid, but htere aresomething in them that also make you belong. The rhymes are ease to understand and the draws are fun.the only thing I didn't like from thhis book, is that is too short.
