A kid finds a lost ‘thing’ on the beach where he’s scavenging for his bottle-top collection. The thing is a large, freakish creature but no-one else really notices it–it’s simply not a part of their familiar day-to-day reality. So the kid takes it upon himself to try to find where the lost thing belongs…

The Lost Thing is a gently humorous story that will be read and enjoyed by a wide range of ages. While the narrative is full of typical thoughts of an observant and caring young person, the illustrations provide a surreal and thought-provoking backdrop for this ‘lost dog story’ with a definite twist. The Lost Thing is the first book that Shaun Tan both wrote and illustrated.
