Excerpts-
From the book
La maman de Lyli lui avait raconté une vieille légende à propos d'un tunnel qui traverserait Motika par son centre et qui aboutirait de l'autre côté de la planète.
Selon cette légende, le tunnel aurait été construit par un monstre appelé le Mange-Cailloux. La bête aurait un appétit si insatiable, qu'elle goberait tout et n'importe quoi – même des cailloux?!
Une nuit, alors que Lyli regardait par-dessus la ville fourmillante, elle décida de partir à la recherche de ce mystérieux tunnel.
– Mais... et le monstre?? demanda Tyki. Tu n'as pas peur??
– Bien sûr que non?! dit Lyli. C'est juste une histoire pour effrayer les enfants?! Je veux savoir ce qu'il y a par-delà les montagnes. Pas toi??
– Non, dit Tyki. Je ne veux pas. Et je ne viendrai pas avec toi, peu importe ce que tu me racontes?!
Mais Lyli sourit. Elle savait que son ami l'accompagnerait.

Reviews-
Angela Hall, Bug in a Book
Children are naturally inquisitive and it is this inquisitiveness that motivates Lyli to search for a hidden, secret tunnel through the mountain to find out what lies on the other side.
When Lyli and her cat, Tyki go exploring and stumble on the entrance to the tunnel they are not sure what to expect. Legend says that the Green Stone-Muncher that will gobble up anything, created the secret tunnel.
However, when the child and the monster meet they are both in for a surprise. Monsters are usually portrayed in children's books as scary creatures but in this one the monster is definitely friendly and helpful. Fear turns to friendship and as a result everyone in the town benefits, as does the monster.
As the narrative unfolds, the beautiful watercolour illustrations combined with collage connect the reader with the changing setting and Lyli's emotions. The visual representation of the monster is particularly interesting as is the contrast of dark and pastel shades to accentuate the changing emotions and settings.
This gentle story is about inquisitiveness, adventure and friendship.
– Margaret Warner, Buzz Words
Celine has given this story a real fable feel; even though it is brand new, it seems like something you might have read as a child.
In the fantasy land of Motika the city is surrounded by dense crystal mountain ranges which are impenetrable. This means the city is highly concentrated and buildings are tall with little space to spare.
Lyli longs to explore the other side of the ranges, even with tales of a scary creature with a ravenous appetite. Undeterred, she sets off to find a secret tunnel. Things are not always as they are portrayed in stories, as Lyli finds out when she comes face to face with the Stone-Muncher.
The illustrations are unique and unusual with a combination of collage, pencil and other media. I believe Lyli Meets the Stone-Muncher would be appealing to young girls in particular who have an interest in fairy tales, and those with the creativity to create their own fantasy land inspired by Celine Eimann could find themselves busily creating.
A little hero for fable lovers.
