Don't Let the Beasties Escape This Book! by Julie Berry, April Lee
4.0
From Getty Publications, these whimsical, wonderful Medieval inspired illustrations are worth the price of admission alone.
The episodic stories are meant to be jump-off points for the reader's own flights of fancy, fun and mischief. There is a simple setup of a boy who neglects his choirs while day dreaming of ancient world fantastical beasts such as a bonnacon (a bull with horns curved inward and a horse's mane). What happens next is up to you. Stay and participate or move on to the next episode. Some readers may find this role playing construct jarring.
Note that reading this book in digital format via the good folks at NetGalley is less than ideal and doesn't do justice to the amazing artwork. Would love to get my hands on a print copy.
