Thoughtfully conceived visual poetry . A treat for all ages
Michel Gagne has surpassed himself with his thoughtfully conceived second book. He displays enormous skill in the realisation of his illustrations. There is a sureal cinematic feel in his marriage of visual and written poetry . My 5 year old son enjoyed the story and requests it regularly. Very original and beautifully produced.

Bad poetry meets quality illustrations
Illustrations were well done, however the Dr. Seuss wanna-be writing style lacks interest and fluidity. His attempts at the child-like poetry, ala Dr. Seuss with a Tim Burton twist, only prove that writing simple poetry with rhythym isn't as easy as it looks. All is not lost though, it did make a good beverage coaster.

Another winner,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mystery of He (Hardcover)
This book offers the unique and witty humor of Michel Gagne' and lets us in on the insight to his imaginative mind and artwork. The story is that of darkness yet with a twist of humor and morals playing on the artwork that is both creative and very much his own. Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for the not so typical childrens books that we have all grown so weary of.

Gagne's book is very well done. I collect children's books and this one is a great addition to my collection. I'm glad I was able to find out about this very limited item.

Gagne has outdone himself with this beautiful book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mystery of He (Hardcover)
Beautiful artwork and a clever story combine to form this outstanding example of childrens literature. This magnificent tale of a strange creature's quest for belonging takes the reader through a bizarre fantasy world full of strange beings and fabulous vistas. The story is captivating and the artwork is exquisite, a must for any childrens library.

Gagne's best book yet,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mystery of He (Hardcover)
A beautiful and insightful fable. Simple yet profound, Gagne's tale takes its place among the great works of children litterature which it trancends. Adults will marvel at the incredible graphics and poetic writing while children will enjoy the surreal and wonderful fantasy world the artist has so skillfully created.

The Mystery of He,
By Jorge Ramos (Guadalajara, Jalisco, México.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mystery of He (Hardcover)
Que placer tan grande da el encontrar un tesoro. Eso es lo que siento al leer este bello libro: un gran placer. Una historia que motiva y estimula el alma y la vista. No me deja de imprecionar el estilo tan unico y avanguarda de las imagenes. Esta obra continua la exploracion en diseno, tematica y conceptuos visuales que empezo el autor en su primer libro. Solamente por su contenido grafico, este libro es una obra de arte moderno digno de ser incluido en museos y estudiado en escuelas de arte.
