Beastly Feasts: A Mischievous Menagerie in Rhyme

A Mischievous Menagerie in Rhyme by Robert L. Forbes, illustrated by Ronald Searle. NEW! Have you heard the Gnus? Or the lobsters and boars? What about the bears, sloths, or the pelican named George? The whole animal kingdom is roaring its approval for Robert L. Forbes's delectable collection of poems about creatures great and small, naughty and nice, beautifully illustrated by world-renowned illustrator and caricaturist Ronald Searle. Among the more than 40 beasts you'll meet are a crazy cobra called Spike the Biker, a Chittery-Chattery Crab named Ahab, Bitty the Bedbug and Bobby the Bat, plus Tommy the Tortoise, an ambulance chaser of an attorney in his professional life and a marathon racer of a runner in his spare time. Out of Forbes's offbeat imagination and Searle's wickedly wonderful way with watercolor comes a parade of delightfully devious, devilish and downright demented varmints. Your young — and not-so-young — readers will be doubled, tripled, even quadrupled over with laughter at the wild lives of the wildlife that parades through these beastly feasts!
