Monster has found a tasty dinner, and he's written to all his friends - Sir Gutguzzler, Madame Gargoyle, Giant Grumbo, and Hairy Fairy - to invite them to a feast. Each responds saying they would be delighted but each has explicit dietary requirements. Dinner has to be plump, salted, muddied and chilled.
But, unfortunately, Dinner is a child who very much does not want to be eaten. What can be done to prevent this terrible fate?
Originally published elsewhere as Beast Feast, young readers who have already enjoyed Santa Post, and Unicorn Post will enjoy opening the beasts' responses to their invitations in carefully folded letters, and having read the demands, predict what Dinner's suggestion might be, as well as how the seemingly inevitable ending might be avoided. Can they be as quick-thinking and imaginative as Dinner?
This is one to read literally from cover to cover as there are recipes to share and while some like Eyeball Sushi are not recommended, others like Salted Popcorn could be fun to try.
A fun read to share and perhaps even start a little one on their own cooking adventure.
