It's a charming collection of sketches from an almost year-long trip around the world. The doodles themselves are simple and amusing, and they each have comments below that give them some background.
There are far better books of this sort, I wasn't blown away by this one.
I picked up You Can Never Find a Rickshaw When It Monsoons: The World on One Cartoon a Day by Mo Willems at a library sale last week. You know Mo Willems, right? The amazing children's picture book author, he of Pigeon fame and Knuffle Bunny fame, universally adored by children of all sizes and ages (even those of us who are 58). If you know who he is, then you know why I couldn't possibly pass up this book for a buck. I read the blurb on the back, telling You Can Never Find a Rickshaw is a compilation of cartoons Willems drew during a round-the-world trip he took in 1990. He made one cartoon a day, each a drawing to help him recall the quirkiest thing that happened that day.
But here was the most amazing thing about this little $1 buy:
Autographed!
