The fearsome beastie is searching for something to eat, and the children are at the top of the menu.
The fearsome beastie is hungry, so he leaves his cave in search of something to eat. The children of the town are fooled by the beastie's sly tricks and end up getting eaten! But don't fear, little Pete escapes and gets the one person who can save the day. His granny! Granny takes up her axe and chops beastie in half! All the children come out unharmed and they celebrate with a yummy beastie stew!
Written in rhyme this is a perfect book for kids in reception as I found it helped to reinforce the structure of words. Boy and Fifi loved this story and we spent quite a while discussing what they would do if the Beastie came to get them. It has wonderful illustrations and is a joy to read, and I for one will never look at grannies in the same way again.
