An Island in the Soup

24 pp. | Groundwood | May, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-88899-403-6 $$15.95
(4) K-3 Victor of the Noodle, a knight in a colander helmet, engages in imaginative play with his mum over his bowl of fish soup. Together they face storms of peas and carrots, a pepper dragon, and the Bad Fairy Zoop. Once chocolate cake comes into the picture, Victor finds the soup goes down a lot easier. The imaginative element often seems forced, but the spirited illustrations have a deadpan quality that plays well.
