Little Bertie Beastie loves being beastly! Only, sometimes he wishes he had some friends to stomp and roar with. But when he sets off to the big city to find someone to play with, everyone he says hello to just screams and runs away!
Little does Bertie know, it's the spookiest night of the year and soon some little beasties appear who turn out to be just what he was searching for!
A sweet and funny Halloween picture book about making friends and being beastly, from Matt Robertson, winner of the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award 2020.
COLOURING IN SHEET
“ “The perfect Halloween book for younger Children”
The perfect Halloween read for younger children, my daughter and I couldn’t put this one down, a very interactive book that not only gets you up practising your beastly roar but also teaches younger children about friendship.
Since we received this book it has been our bedtime story every evening, with beautiful illustrations and vibrant colours what more could you want for your beastie Halloween.”
“A lovely hardback book which was truly enjoyed several times, a few days before Halloween by my three grandchildren whose ages range from ten to one. The main character Beastie does things that the children can relate to and is not a frightening or scarey beast at all!
The illustrations in the book are colourful and there are lots of things to talk about in the pictures as well.
On Halloween night itself my youngest granddaughter greeted all the children who knocked at the door with the words “ more friends” which I am sure she picked up from the theme of the book.
The story although based around Halloween explores the theme around loneliness and making friends and touches on why being different can be a good thing.”
