Steampunk for Kids

I just finished reading Flotsam, a children's picture book by David Wiesner.

It's wonderful. It tells the story of magical undersea worlds inhabited by cities floating on turtle backs, blowfish hot air balloons, octopuses reading the paper in their living rooms with lamps made from electric fish. All without a single word.

It may not sound very steampunk, but trust me when I say it is.


You can buy it at Amazon, if you are so inclined.
