The Monster Mixer
By Lenka Vodicka
Each page has two slices, making 3 sections. The top is the head. The middle is the body. The bottom is the feet with corresponding action. The layout is vertical, with the text along the outside edge of the page. By flipping sections, readers create hundreds of different silly stories. This table shows the breaks in text. All the stories fit together. By selecting column A, then B, then C, hilarious results happen. Have fun!
