A Tale of Two Beasts

32 pp. | Kane/Miller | March, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-61067-361-7 $12.99
(3) K-3 Two narrators tell the same story from opposing points of view: first, a girl "rescues" a beast (a lemur) in the woods and brings it home; next, the lemur is "ambushed" by a beast (the girl), who takes it back to her "secret lair." This amusing lesson on perspective is illustrated with equally amusing cartoony illustrations; the lemur's eyes are especially expressive.
