Pakkin's Land is an amazing adventure that should appeal to both adults and children alike. The book reminded me of the C.S. Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia" both in it's allgorical nature and with their similar fantasy landscapes populated with a myriad of talking animals. The illustrations are wonderful, superbly drawn with a loose, Disney-esque animated style and propel you through the book with their dynamic storytelling. Of particular interest is to see the artwork and characters as they are gradually shaped and molded throughout the story. The subtleness of how the author/illustrator accomplished this effect really adds depth to the story and the situations. This is the first book in what should be a long series and where it does leave you desirng to read and continue on, the story contained here is well thought out one and quite satisfying in it's own right. While I find most illustrated graphic styled novels dark and foreboding, this one was the complete opposite, instead offering a breath of fresh air. It is a joy to read and reccommend something so full of light and life!
