Children's literature: ghosts and famous friends

< /p> UPDATE DAY

Strange things are happening at Weaver Hall Academy… Ectoplasms, ghosts, apparitions and ghosts haunt the halls of the establishment. Fortunately, Peter, Egon, Ray and Winston have set up a very special school club: Ghostbusters! Then, in another story, Chandler, Joey, Monica, Phoebe, Rachel, and Ross learn the importance of friendship. These six friends know it: life is better together, with or without pizza!

The albums of QILINN editions revisit classics of cinema, essentials of the small screen, some more recent successes, others which have something to make parents nostalgic when they read the story to their children. Mom I missed the plane, Back to the Future, Harry Potter; there is no shortage of picture book choices! Among their recent books, there are two hits with very different themes.

Zoom on Ghostbusters

It's more than fun to reunite with the well-known characters from the film series, but at “child height”. 

Little readers lead the investigation with Egon, Peter, Ray and Winston to find out what is wrong within the four walls of their school. They find disturbing clues in the school library… A strange smell floats in the air, sticky green traces are stuck everywhere and the books are strangely classified. Will they meet a ghost?

Zoom in Friends

The TV series Friends which becomes an album for children, it was rather unexpected as a literary project! But it works super well: the emphasis is on the importance of friendship, with nods to the differences between some friends who come to unite them. 

The older ones will have a smile on their face as they revisit highlights from the show, including Monica dancing with a turkey on her head, Ross' couch getting stuck in the stairwell, not to mention the famous “pause” between Ross and Rachel.

Frankly a lot of fun with these picture books!
