The poetic tale of The Beast of the Burlington Bog is a wonderful read that will delight and entertain. We are introduced to a characterful beast with a bad temper, bright green fur and terrible body odour! He is also extremely lazy and captures a variety of other animals to use as his slaves. They live in constant fear, cooking, cleaning and tending the the beasts every need, until suddenly the beast finds himself in trouble and has to call on the animals themselves for support. Will they decide to help him or choose to make their escape? The story is packed with memorable refrains which bring this larger than life character to life and is sure to be a firm favourite for young children.
