5.0 out of 5 stars Highly unusual picture book, 6 Mar 1998
By A Customer
I was introduced to Mr. Van Allsberg's books when I was young-- my father loved the illustrations and sparked my fascination with these picture books. What I love about "The Stranger" is that, unlike so many other children's books that tell simple stories in a very linear fashion with easily identifiable morals and characters, this book is elusive and enigmatic. Like "The Mysteries of Harris Burdick" it is concerned with leaving loose ends so that the reader can tie it together on his/her own. I, aged 21, find this story stimulating and fascinating and think it is a wonderful eye opener in the world of children's books, a book that haunts with gorgeous images and unique storytelling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chris Van Allsburg is a very creative writer., 17 Nov 1998
By A Customer
I think this book is cool, because it had awesome pictures. I loved how the man kept himself a stranger. The story leaves you wondering where the stranger went. I think this book is excellent. I would definitely recommend this book to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Van Allsburg writes with imagination., 10 Nov 1998
By A Customer
I would change the book so that the stranger would talk so he could tell them where he came from. I liked the pictures in this book because they might tell you something about the character. I would recommend this book to others because it is a mystery to figure out who the stranger is.
