    A Tale of Two Beasts

    By Fiona Robertson

    There are two sides to every story! In Part One The Strange Beast, a little girl finds a strange beast in the woods and takes it home as a pet. She feeds it, shows it off to her friends and gives it a hat. But that night it escapes. Then, in Part Two The Terrible Beast, the beast tells the story of being kidnapped by the girl, who forcefed it squirrel food, scared it with a group of beasts and wrapped it in wool. Can the two beasts resolve their differences? An eye-opening story that makes you look at things from a different perspective. AR Reading Level 3.0
