You Can Never Find a Rickshaw When it Monsoons

You Can Never Find a Rickshaw When it Monsoons by Mo Willems  396 pp.

Before Mo Willems became famous with his children's books, he spent the year after his college graduation (1990-91) backpacking around the world. Instead of keeping a travel journal, he made a sketch of one memorable event each day of his trip. Many years later he went back to these sketches and added commentary to each one. The result was published in this book. Many comments are humorous while others are thought provoking views of the social situations at the time. It's an entertaining book but not suitable for use as a travel guide.
