An intriguing case study about a children's writing center (NON-PROFIT) which is housed behind this "monster shop" front. Not only does the retail store act as a source of inspiration and thought (and humor) for the children, but serves to create funds for the writing center.

This whole notion is based off the 826-National (i think this may be a UK spin-off of that concept) -- a non profit organization dedicated to creating one-on-one children's writing workshops. Interestingly enough, the retail component is a large factor in this organization... each of their "workshops" has an "atypical" retail space associated with it. http://826national.org/chapters/

Also, I believe the door to the workshop is hidden behind one of the display shelves for snot or brains...
