Cicada

Zusatztext A different kind of worker comes in the form of Cicada! an unhappy data-entry clerk abused by his human bosses and co-workers. The latest from the Australian author Shaun Tan! who won an Academy award for the 2011 film adaptation of his picture book The Lost Thing ! Cicada (Hachette Children's! £14.99) is an unusual picture book with an almost entirely grey palette (apart from the green of the insect)! and it features a distinct rhythm: "Cicada work in tall building. /Data entry clerk. Seventeen year./ No sick day. No mistake./ Tok Tok Tok!" It's a timely book! given its theme of worker exploitation! and as such is perhaps best suited to readers aged six and up! for whom it could be a starting point for discussing human rights. It's not all bleak though; it has a wild and surprising ending! with the cicada having the last laugh.
