Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 2002
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!

Beastly Boys and Ghastly Girls2 reviews
The World Publishing Company, 1964
Best poetry book for kids, ever!
If you want to get your kids thrilled with poetry, this is the book for them. Wry, funny, outrageous, short, memorizable (I still remember "In the family drinking well, Willie pushed his sister Nell. She's there yet because it kilt her, Now we have to buy a filter") Somebody needs to republish this fine book!

Beautiful and easy to understand!
I've been using this book for several years. The patterns are easy to understand (even for a beginner) and the pictures of the finished sweaters are beautiful! If you like animals, this is the book for you. I haven't seen another like it!

BEASTLY FEASTS!3 reviews
Robert Forbes
Overlook Juvenile, 2007
Fun to read and look at
If you were a fan of the clever rhymes of Ogden Nash and you loved the drawings of Dr. Zeuss, then Feast on this Beastly Book. The text will entertain the adults, while the pictures twirl the kids. See if they can find the mouse. There is one in every drawing. And there is a picture for every story. Those pictures are a little more cutting in their social satire as is the versatile verse, than ...

Beastly Boys and Ghastly Girls5 reviews
William Cole
Putnam Pub Group Library, 1964
Great children's nonsense verse, interesting illustrations.
I discovered this book in about the 4th grade, and it has always stuck in my heart. Great collection of nonsense verse. Illustrations by Tomi Ungerer, which are very special. Much of the verse is from the victorian age, although I read "Sarah Sylvia Cynthia Stout" here years before Shel Silverstein made a recording of it. As is the case with a lot of juvenile literature of the past, there ...

Beastly Abodes: Homes for Birds, Bats, Butterflies & Other Backyard Wildlife4 reviews
Bobbe Needham
Sterling Publishing (NY), 1996
Best book I've seen on houses for wildlife.
The most complete and innovative book on bird houses I've seen yet. Not only that, it has houses and other structures for bats, butterflies, squirrels, bees and toads. I especially like the variety and creativity of the "abodes" -- natural looking, not cutesy. The section on what each type of wildlife needs is especially welcome. I read this book in the library and had to make it part of ...

Gerard Washburn
BookSurge Publishing, 2007
A Man and His Wolf
A classic subject: A man and his dog, although in this engrossing account it's a man and his wolf. From heartwarming to heartbreaking to overcoming deep pain and frustration, this true story will draw you in with the author's keen perspective, attitude and humor.

Sir Toby Jingle's Beastly Journey4 reviews
Putnam Publishing Group, 1976
Sir Toby's Review
As a child this was and still is my favorite story. If you like "Where the Wild Things are" this is a book that needs to be part of your collection. Sir Toby goes out throught the country side and meets with past enimies and at the end tricks them into a happy ending to the amusment of the people they had terrorized before. The pictures add a quality that helps the story. A very good read. ...

Beastly tales from here and there9 reviews
Vikram Seth
Viking, 1992
"Beastly Tales" out of Print, AN INTERNATIONAL DISGRACE
Everything is great about these poems. The rhymes are clever, beautiful and very often funny. In the tales the good wins from the bad, but after trial and tribulations, and always in unexpected ways. One of my favourite lines is about a goat and a ram: "They ate with pride as if to balance, their total lack of other talents". But quoting excellent lines would take about as long as the book ...

Babette Cole's Beastly Birthday Book1 review
Babette Cole
Doubleday Books for Young Readers, 1991
Babette Cole=fun
I just picked up a copy of Cole's "Truelove" and it reminded me of her Beastly Birthday book which was a favorite read for me and the boys I babysat for. The book has fun pop up and pull out bonus features. For example, in the story the birthday boy- to-be invites everyone and everything he meets to his party ("...I'm sure my mom won't mind."). A rhino is on the guest list. With this page ...

Putnam Pub Group Library, 1964
Humor a la Addams Family
This book is well worth the out of print cost! A varied collection of dark humor and twisted poetry, one of my favorites is "Little Thomas" ...in which a young boy eats too much, and bursts... to the dismay of his housekeeper. If you like the Addams Family, you'll love this book!

Beastly Intentions1 review
Phaze, 2007
Outstanding!
I can honestly say that this story was a delight to read, from cover to cover. I've been a fan of Wendy's for a few years now and this is by far her best work to date. She brilliantly captures the emotions of the characters. Her vivid descriptions pull you into the book to the point where you feel you're actually there with the characters, watching the story unfold.
If you love a good, ...

There is no zoo in zoology: And other beastly mispronounciations : an opinionated guide for the well-spoken2 reviews
Charles Harrington Elster
Collier Macmillan, 1988
This book should be standing next to your dictionary on the shelf.
This is a book which, unfortunately, many people don't know about but would do well to have in their collection. Mr. Elster appears to have researched the words covered in the book very well, and he tells the history of many of them. A pattern that quickly becomes evident is how some words are continuously mispronounced for many years, whereby eventually the erroneous pronunciation can become ...

Chronicle Books, 1990
The best baby book!
This is such a great thing. Both of her books are my sons favorite since he was even able to see. They were the only thing that kept him occupied for a few seconds. The best thing about them is that they are accordian style so you can pull out the whole book and it seems to impress babies quite a bit! my son LOVES them! I carry them everywhere I go. This one with the animals can be kind of ...

A book for poem and art lovers of all ages.
After three kids and hundreds of children's books, this new addition to our personal library is already getting well worn. The beautiful artwork and entertaining poems are as enjoyable to myself as the are to my 21-month-old daughter. I recommend this book to every parent (and child)
