Despite the cuteness I was expecting something more deep and subtle underneath.
It might seem a little too much to give 5 stars to a children's picture book, but why not? I love the story, I think it's super cute and I love any opportunity I have of seeing the Endless all together.The illustrations are so beautiful, I wish there were hundreds more like this book. I also wish I had a kid, because this would allow me to introduce him to Sandman. I love children's books and this one is a must have if you like art and are a fan of Sandman.
A wonderfully-illustrated and very cute storybook for children, or teen goths who are more attracted to the 'look' of Jill Thompson's work on The Sandman series by Neil Gaiman than appreciative of the philosphy, mythology and fable embedded in one of the greatest, most profound and sophisticated fantasy graphic-novel series' ever created.
Grabbed something to read after I went to get Vanessa up from her nap but she'd fallen back to sleep. To quote the little lady herself "sooooo cuuute"
While I much prefer Gaiman's Endless, Jill THompson's version of the Endless are adorable. The artwork is beyond cute, the story is simple and easy to follow. A good read for those who might be too young for Gaiman's stories.
amazing illustrations, this was very cute (:
It took me 15 minutes to get immersed and done with this awesome colourful book. I enjoyed the artworks and the story of Barnabas the brave responsible caretaker of Princess Delirium. Short and full of imaginations. Just the way I like it. Awesomeness to my 1st book for the start of this decade.
I didn't have very high expectations, but I still felt this was disappointing except for the adorable illustrations. Clumsy prose.
This is clearly for children, but it's still a cute book. The story is follows on from Brief Lives, but instead of Delirium searching or her brother, it's Barnabas losing Delirium and having to find her. He travels to each of the realms of the Endless, trying to find her, and each of them sends him on his way with a charm. And all the while he is pursued by something, following close behind, until he is finally cornered and stops to confront his enemy:His tail.I read this is about ten minutes. I...
As with the Giant-Size Little Marvel heroes, I couldn't resist this cute version of the Sandman characters.The story is simple: Barnabas, the dog, is living with Delirium and making sure she doesn't get lost.But that is much easier said than done, considering the Endless' penchant for wandering off and forgetting everything (including herself). So of course one private moment end with Barnabas having to travel from one Endless sibling to the next in order to find his mistress again.The art was c...
It's cute and easy to read, but I don't think I would call it a children's book.
An interesting exercise in writing a children's story with the characters from Neil Gaiman's Sandman. Barnabas looks quite different from how I remember him from the comic, though, but the story was fun enough with its nods to the source material. I especially liked the last panel where Barnabas and Delirium agree never to go out walking without a leash, and then there's a pic of the dog holding the leash in his jaws and Delirium actually wearing it.
Two word: Cuteness overload. Apparently, Jill Thompson's diminutive editions of Morpheus and Death that first appeared in The Parliament of Rooks had a huge following. I heard that lots of fans demanded to see all the Endless in their "chibi" goodness, and Thompson granted all their wishes in this little storybook.Obviously it's a kid's book--they didn't even mention Death's name!--so it would be a tad criminal to point out its lack of depth concomitant with the graphic novel series. That also e...
this was so cute T-T
The story and art style suggests this is a story for children. But the paucity of explanations means you need to have read the Sandman series to know who any of the characters are, means it's more for the parents reading this book to their children. And ultimately it doesn't work for either group.Furthermore, due to the barebones nature of the book, I think fans of The Sandman would find it lacking in Sandman things, while non-fans would be hard pressed to differentiate it from any of the other
Being that the characters are Gaiman's Endless I expected this to be a comic not a kids book. Not at all what I had anticipated.
I have to admit. I cannot resist the chibis. This was such an adorable issue! For me, the art was all worth it, even if this was a predictable children's story. Delirium gets separated from her dog Barnabas, and he sets out to get her back. If you want just a fun, whimsical and cute short story about Delirium and Barnabas from the Sandman series, with appearances from all our beloved Endless, then I would grab this. Beware it's nothing like the Sandman series in content and themes though!
very adorable and enjoyable! I love the little versions of the Endless as interpreted by Jill Thompson. :) I'm definitely wanting to see more of this!
The endless family is little now!Delirium gets lost and Barnabas, her beloved dog goes after her and talks to each of her brothers and sisters! The story itself is very short/simple, but the illustrations do the work of making it marvellous! I stared at each page's illustrations, Jill Thompson is a queeeeen! ❤️
"Once upon a time, in an ice-cream-colored realm, there lived a tiny princess named Delirium..."And so starts the very endearing story of the youngest of Gaiman's The Endless who thought that she has "losted" her puppy Barnabas or as she is now calling him: "Mr. Losty MacLosty". If you're a Deliriophile, this will rock your candy-colored inside-out boat made of popsicle sticks as you try out words that are "particularly crispy on the tongue, like twinkle and citrus." Barnabas started searching f...
