Review

This is a confusing story about a Beast and a Snow Beast. Beast loves snow and when the first snowfall occurs each year, he and the mountain villages have a festival. Apparently they need tools to build things for this festival but this year the tools have all been stolen by the Snow Beast. Beast goes after Snow Beast to try to retrieve the tools. The story is not an easy one to follow, partly because of Beast and Snow Beast both being beasts! The illustrations are OK and the ending is a tad humorous but, all in all, this is not a book I recommend.

Overall Book Score: poor
