Full Moon Soup
-
Hi everyone, anyone have any suggestions of books similar to 'Full Moon Soup' by Allistair Graham? One of my favorites as a child. I have been developing an idea to write a wordless children's book in a somewhat similar cross-section style. Something along the lines of a Stephen Biesty book but with more story.
I'm just looking for more inspiration. Any leads are appreciated!
-
@Tom-Harshberger Hmmm, can't think of anything off the top of my head but will let you know if anything comes up. Cool-looking book, thanks for sharing!

@Tom-Harshberger cool! I've never even heard of this book -- will have to check it out!
Here are a few suggestions of detailed and/or cross-section style picture books:
-
Farmhouse and Hello Lighthouse by Sophie Blackall -- Hello Lighthouse won the Caldecott
-
Journey, Quest, and Return by Aaron Becker (wordless trilogy)
-
Found by Jeff Newman
-
The Dog Walk by Sven Nordqvist
-
The Midnight Fair by Gideon Sterer
-
The Wanderer by Peter Van den Ende
-
One Little Bag by Henry Cole
-
Gold by Jed Alexander, sequel to Red, which is also good
-
Leaf by Daishu Ma
-
The Arrival by Shaun Tan -- for a little bit older audience, but has that feeling of visiting a whole other world
Most of these are wordless, except the books by Sophie Blackall, which have the cross sections you were mentioning you're looking for. However, they are quieter books. Hope these help. Let us know if you're looking for something more specific in book recommendations.

@Tom-Harshberger my kids are also very entertained with these type of books. Aaron Becker is awesome.
This one is one of those about the theater in Antwerp https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/thuis-in-theater/9200000056272183/
And loved this one about a forest. https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/twaalf-maanden-in-het-bos/9200000079530407/
If you click on 'inkijkexemplaar' you can get a preview of the book.
Go for it! -
@Chantal-Goetheer Ooh these are really cool. Thank you!
