Duck, Death and the Tulip by Wolf Erlbruch
98
This book is weird. The illustrations are great, but the story is just odd. I was looking for some good kid's books that deal with death, and this isn't really the sort of thing I was hoping to find. It's pretty entertaining as a weird, hipstery story, but not so much as a kid's book. Also, the flap-copy calls this "strangely heart-warming" which is a lying lie.
Introduces children to the concept of death. A gentle and thought provoking picture book, although not suitable for everyone, some children may find it a little frightening.
