Monsters, Goblins, Trolls, Zombies and More Scary Stuff
This story begins with a picture of two wide-eyed children standing in front of a huge magical castle. Welcome to the Hotel of Hoo. Mr. Nicholas Noo escorts the children to their room number 1.
Mr. Noo encourages the children to explore the hotel. However, the children are warned to never look behind door 32. The curious children explore rooms number 2 - 31. They discover a wide array of colorful creatures, monsters and treasures.
Will the children look behind the forbidden door 32? What will they find there?
My Thoughts
What happens when you tell a child NOT to look at something?
The banned subject is much more appealing to a curious child.
The children in this story are fearless explorers. They discover an entire world of delightful and frightful characters behind the doors of the Hotel of Hoo. Some of the discoveries are fun but some have them running for safety. There is a surprise behind each door!
This is a counting book in two different ways. The rooms are numbered from one to 32. When you go inside the room, you find a matching number of items to count. For example, when you open door number five, you find five dancing zombies. When you open door number 30, you find two old trolls who have a total of 30 spines protruding from their bodies.
I read a digital copy of this book on a 7" Kindle screen. The formatting is excellent. The details of the illustrations are captured in the digital edition and the rhyming text is an appropriate size for easy reading.
This book is designed to entertain and educate children. I am very impressed with the quality and presentation of this book. Children will read it over and over again...discovering new details in each reading.
Oh, what or who is behind door 32? Children will discover the answer to this question when they read the book.
MY RATING: 5 Stars Out of 5
FYI ~ I received a free digital copy of this book from Teleblade Press in exchange for a fair review.
