This classic touch-and-feel pop-up book (which sold over 150,000 copies when first published in 1993) is back-bigger and better than ever (with a new cover and two new spreads)-and every bit as mischievous. For those who haven’t met Pat the Beastie before: He’s a nice little monster who belongs to Paul and Judy. The only problem is, Paul and Judy are very naughty kids who do lots of things they shouldn’t do to Beastie, like pulling his fur, poking his eyes, and picking his boogers. Ignoring repeated warnings from their other pets to “not monkey around with a Beastie!” Paul and Judy realize by the end of the book that “pets have rights, too!” But are they too late?


Boy, were they sorry! Artist Henrik Drescher's decidedly wicked parody of Pat the Bunny, is back in a sturdier board-book format and more engaging illustrations. Pat the Beastie is an interactive touch-and-feel, pull-and-poke book that comes with pop-ups, squishers, squeezers, and squeakers—not to mention two brightly colored wormy boogers. Readers will love to join in with the mischievous Paul and Judy as they have fun "playing" with their pet Beastie, squishing and jiggling and playing peekaboo. (Hey, Beastie deserves some respect!) But after readers see what happens when you cross a Beastie—then he'll FEASTIE!—they'll go scrambling back through the book to make amends.
