Monsieur Thermidor: A Fantastic Fishy Tale

26 pp. | Blackbirch | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 1-56711-800-3
(4) K-3 Monsieur Thermidor, a royal-blue, bulging-eyed lobster, presides over a chic underwater cafe until he is swept up in a fisherman's net. A kindhearted chef spares Monsieur Thermidor's life; in return, the grateful lobster revives the chef's failing restaurant by sharing the recipe for his famous seaweed soup. The predictable story is not as interesting as the lively and comical salt-dough figures of the illustrations.
