Wonderlit Review
"Beasty Story" by Bill Martin Jr. is a classic-feeling picture book that takes young readers on a gentle, rhyming adventure. A group of mice embarks on a journey into a "dark, dark woods," encountering a house described with various dark colors. The book effectively builds mild suspense through its repetitive, lyrical text, leading to an anticipated "spooky surprise." It's an excellent choice for children aged 3-7, particularly those who enjoy rhythmic stories and a touch of mystery. The book handles mild fear in a playful, non-threatening way, making it a good conversation starter about bravery and curiosity. Parents will appreciate its read-aloud quality and the simple, engaging plot.
