"In a dark, dark wood there is a dark, dark house..." So begins this tongue-in-cheek rodent tale of intrigue. Four brave and curious mice follow the trail of a big, scary beast, down the dark red stair, into the dark blue cellar, inside the dark green bottle in the dark purple cupboard. Young readers will squeal in delighted fright when the yellow-eyed monster ("A BEAST!") flies out and across the cellar, up the stairs, out of the house, and into the night. The perpetually rhyming, color-obsessed mice follow in hot pursuit. But is the beast really as horrible as it seems? Two of the best-loved creators of children's books have collaborated on this utterly charming picture book. Using repetition, color progression, and rhymes, Bill Martin, Jr. (Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?) and Steven Kellogg (A-Hunting We Will Go!) conjure up a story that will beguile any small reader in search of a thrill. Comical, cartoonish illustrations depict shadowy figures and deep, rich colors, leading up to the spooky surprise ending. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
Product Description
In a dark, dark house, in a dark, dark wood lurks a creepy, beasty . . . BEAST! But don't be scared--this beast may not be so beastly after all. The beloved Bill Martin Jr and Steven Kellogg bring their enormous talents together to create a ghoulish story that's both scary and snug.
Includes fun new book-related activities!

Perfect! August 13, 2008
This is such a fun book to read to a young child. My four year old daughter loved the pace of the book, and couldn't wait to see how it all ends. She absolutely loved the characters and the cute little drawings of them. When we finished the book, she wanted to read it again right away. And again, and again and again. That's the true test of a childrens' book!
Wonderful!!! May 2, 2008
Our son, 3 1/2, LOVES this book. He is into anything that is scary...but doesn't want to be scared (if that makes sense). Like Scooby Doo...starts off scary, but there is always a reason, nothing supernatural! Terrific illustrations, educational and surprising! Fun book to read for the adults too. The type of book that you notice something new each time you read! Adorable!
kids love it! January 12, 2007
this book is so much fun! my kindergarten class loved it! perfect for halloween!!!!
Another not so scary scary picture book July 4, 2006
This book is creepy throughout, yet is cute. The mice-like animals are spooked, but the resolution is fun.
There is a stress on colors and like-sounding words, so it's perfect for a toddler (learning colors) or young child, learning to read.
Another favorite of my boys.

Hog Zeep... Beasty Story is fantastic December 28, 2005
We purchased the Beasty Story before we had children. Now that we have children we love it even more! I love the flow of the story and the illustrations as well. My 2.5 year old understands the surprise humor and laughs hardy each time we read this book. It's different than some of Bill Martin, Jr's other work, but is wonderful. Don't miss this!
