I received a DRC and found it to be clever, funny, and sweet.Ī Feast for Pleasant Beasts is a compilation of interwoven short chapters that completes the story as a whole. It rounds off all the fun with a sense of working together and companionship.and maybe, even a last giggle or two.

The feast is all it should be with a few extra bonuses as the beasts, after well-behaved dining, come together to help clean up before ending out the evening on a nice note.

There are even some more difficult words built in to help expand listeners' vocabularies without weighing down.

The poems pack tons of silly descriptions as they present the beasts in all of their strangeness. There's a longer poem describing each beast and setting (hence the read-aloud perfection) with a bright and entertaining illustration next to it. This is a read-aloud book, which is packed full of fantasy and humor. But when the feast begins, so does the true excitement. Each one is introduced with every delightfully odd attribute they possess. There's one rule: they have to be well-mannered during the feast. Once a year, he holds a special feast for all the wonderful beasts in the forest. These beasts hold quirks and curiosities galore, but that's nothing when compared to the fantastical fun, when they finally sit down and enjoy a very special feast.Ĭuthbert, a very normal boy, enjoys cooking.and even more so, when it's for a feast. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer It was a delightful tale from beginning to end, with plenty of new vocabulary words and perfect to spark the imagination of young readers. The children loved the surprise near the end and I loved everyone working together to clean up after the feast before singing around a campfire. The feast inspired us to have a picnic where we ate gummy worms and sandwiched cut into shapes. I will admit Clayton loved these dishes the most while Sophia screamed well, at least until she heard the desserts. Oh my, what a feast from cockroach casserole to bread dunked in slime. Cuthbert is a boy who lives in a cave and is friends with a bear. We laughed at their descriptions from the silly to stories about them that had my grandchildren asking, “Nonna, is that true?” It was fun to reply, “Well, I don’t know about that but I once read a book with a cyclops in it.” I could see their inquisitive minds wanting more.Īll the beasts are friendly, which is why they are invited each year by young Cuthbert to his picnic.

The author colorfully describes each guest and the illustrations bring them to life. A Feast for Pleasant Beasts is not an early reader, so I read this one to the Royals.
