Full Moon Soup
There are dozens of stories to follow in this large picture book. The tranquility that reigns in the sleepy country town Hotel Splendide and revealed through its rooms on the first double-spread, slowly disintegrates along with the hotel as ghosts, ghouls, Godzilla and other unearthly and extra-terrestrial beings invade the property from basement to rooftop. A deceptively sophisticated read which encourages such skills as concentration, skimming, selective reading and reviewing, but which may at first glance be thought of by some as only a simple and (mostly) wordless diversion.
