The beasts are having a feast. Animals from everywhere are bringing their favorite foods to a picnic. Young readers will love identifying each creature and guessing what tasty treat they have to... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This delightfully illustrated story will appeal to children aged two to five. The first time we read it together, my daughter and I giggled at the clever rhymes, frenzied pace, and sudden ending. The animals get together for a feast, and all the foods they bring are vegetarian. "Moose bring juice and mice bring rice. Fleas bring peas and flies bring pies." The story goes faster and faster, the rhyme almost becoming a tongue twister and the food flying around the table. Finally, at the end, the animals collapse into a pile to take a nap! This fun book requires at least two readings in a sitting. Enjoy! -Reviewed by Melanie Wilson
Delightful fun!

No one can resist this charming tale of animals preparing for a feast. Children love the clever rhymes, fun story, and beautiful illustrations. I have given this book to nieces, nephews, and friends' children, in addition to my own son, and it has been a favorite every time. Bruce Goldstone is a genius! This book will not disappoint you!
