Description

When a little girl rescues a strange beast from the woods, she takes him home. But for some reason, the little beast is not happy! There are two sides to every story, and this funny and charming tale is no exception.

Critical Reviews

"Roberton's premise is as sublime as it is simple, with a subtle message. Brilliantly, the illustrations vary just slightly from one version of the story to the next; it's their juxtaposition with the radically different textual perspective that generates the laughs. Totally delightful." -- Kirkus Reviews, STARRED

"This funny, thought-provoking British story exquisitely demonstrates the importance of understanding multiple perspectives." -- School Library Journal, "Outstanding International Books: Presenting the 2016 USSBY Selections"

"It's a smart and not-too-serious introduction to the idea of empathy-and boundaries." -- Publishers Weekly
