Beast Feast

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A charming story about a quick-thinking child and a soft-hearted beast, with letters to open.

Beast has found a tasty dinner, and he's written to all his friends to invite them to a feast. Unfortunately, Dinner is a child who very much does not want to be eaten. As Beast's friends send their instructions for cooking Dinner, is there any way Dinner can convince Beast to change his menu? A vibrant and charming interactive book with hilarious letters to open.

PRAISE FOR Beast Feast

"Letter-flaps to lift, delicious and disgusting dishes, and the development of an unlikely friendship combine to create a riotous picture book party." The Guardian Review

"This contribution to the genre, with RSVPs from Sir Gutguzzler and co, is a hoot. Independent readers should also enjoy the gruesome recipes on the endsheets." The Observer

"Those dreading seasonal overindulgence can enjoy Emma Yarlett’s deliciously funny, brightly comic Beast Feast, in which a child has to persuade a monster not to eat him." New Statesman
