About this title

Synopsis

If you haven't heard, the whole animal kingdom is roaring its approval for BEASTLY FEASTS!, this collection of delectable rhymes about animals naughty and nice. With over forty delicious poems by Robert Forbes and zany illustrations of each featured creature (and a secret critter peeping out from each page) from master cartoonist Robert Searle, these wildly playful rhymes and charmingly intricate illustrations will keep readers seven to seventy coming back to the table again and again.

The Gnus are out! So are the dachshunds, squirrels, and giraffes! Open up BEASTLY FEASTS! for a menagerie of poems that are as good for a scare as they are for a laugh!

"He spends a lot of time looking out the window," read one of Robert Forbes's seventh grade report cards. Even so, he managed to graduate from school and university, and joined the family business in 1975 where he now serves as Vice President as well as president of the lifestyle magazine ForbesLife. After twenty-five years in New York City and six in London, he and his wife currently reside in Florida. He enjoys his work, winemaking with his wife on their property in southern France, and writing poetry, and he still cherishes time spent looking out windows.
