Abstract

A sequel to the popular picture book "Haunted Mansion". What kind of ghosts will we meet this time? Let's go on an adventure to explore the haunted mansion! A sequel to the picture book "Haunted Mansion" born from a panel theater. As with the previous work, the popular duo of Tsubasa Suzuki (text) and Yasunari Murakami (illustrations) are involved. This work, where you can meet ghosts such as the Delicious Cafe, the Zombie Sushi Shop, and Medusa, is written by Tsubasa Suzuki, who is overwhelmingly popular in kindergartens and nursery schools, and the illustrations are by Yasunari Murakami, who has won numerous awards including the Graphic Award at the Bologna Children's Book Fair. A voice cries out "Help me!" from the stone statue at the entrance to the mansion. The adventure begins as you visit the fluffy ghost cafe, the zombie sushi shop, Medusa, and other ghosts to save the stone statue. This is a picture book that continues from the previous work, with some comical ghosts.
