What is The Fearsome Beastie about?
When the Fearsome Beastie feels peckish, he leaves his cave to hunt for a tasty child. In the town, Suzie, Clyde and Paul think they know how to stay safe, but the cunning monster tricks them and gobbles them up. Little Pete escapes and races to fetch his brave granny. Armed with an axe and plenty of courage, Granny confronts the Beastie, chops him in half and rescues the children. Soon everyone is celebrating with a very unusual feast: beastie stew.
