The Feast for the King

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Linde Faas. In preparation for King Lion's birthday, each of several animals donates a piece of meat. When Tarantula turns his back, his piece gets poached. His search for the "beef thief" is an amiable primer in animal diets (Giraffe: "Meat? Yuck! I eat leaves and branches"). The art is painterly and vibrant; too bad about the book's punctuation and grammatical gaffes.
