    'do you remember the water buffalo at the end of our street?

    or the deep-sea diver we found near the underpass?

    do you know why dogs bark in the middle of the night?

    Shaun Tan, creator of The Arrival, The Lost Thing and The Red Tree, reveals the quiet mysteries of everyday life: homemade pets, dangerous weddings, stranded sea mammals, tiny exchange students and secret rooms filled with darkness and delight.'
