THE LOST THING Shaun Tan Teacher’s Notes By Nancy Mortimer          Contents • • • • • Introduction  Language and Literacy  Visual Literacy  Design and Layout  Discussion Points The Lost Thing – Shaun Tan  Teacher’s Guide 2009    Page 1 of 8  www. hachettechildrens. com. au INTRODUCTION The Lost Thing is the first picture book that Shaun Tan has both written and illustrated, and the  result is a wonderful, warm, humorous story that will be read and enjoyed by a wide range of  ages. There is so much to pore over and ponder in this book that it will be a welcome addition to  the resources that teachers have to draw on. The story is an age? old and familiar “lost dog story” told by the boy and addressed to the reader.
