Skibber Bee Bye (Paperback)

Skribber Bee Bye is many things: deceptively cute, unbelievably violent, emotionally wrenching, dreamlike, yet often times surprisingly realistic, especially when you take into account that the protagonist is a teary-eyed elephant. Rege has created an astonishingly beautiful work of art. His frantic dishes take on a crazy rhythm. Every line pulsates with a nervous energy. His characters dash about in a frenzied state, most mute with fear. Yet somehow, Rege is still able to take in the beauty of the world around him and translate it into a series of beautiful paintings that act as a breather from the macabre goings-on in the other chapters. This book is like nothing you have ever read.
