1-3Hotel Strange series.
When mushroom forest creatures mistake hotel resident Kiki for their king, Hotel Strange temporarily becomes a palace. The idiosyncratic innkeepers eventually locate the real Mushroom King and prevent termite-like pests from destroying the hotel. Third in the offbeat French-import series, the silly story's bright comic panels bring the antics and the woodland setting to colorful life. A cake recipe is included.
