This is a beautifully illustrated book that I found quite amusing. I picked up a copy at the Origins Gaming Fair recently and have very much enjoyed reading it. The tale is about a king who has horrible stomach pain that nothing seems able to fix. When he offers his throne to whomever can relieve him of the pain, his court wizard goes to great lengths to gather the ingredients for Alphabeast Soup, something that should magically cure he king of his pain.
I greatly enjoyed the poem format that the book appears to be written in and the illustrations that the book contains to go along with the story greatly enhance the tale told. I would definitely recommend this one. I found it quite humorous & entertaining. I’m very glad I picked up a copy and would highly recommend it to anyone who would like a quick laugh.

In a flowery jungle, way up in the twigs
a beast called the FLOUNCE dines on nuts, bugs, and figs.
The thing about Flounces that makes people wary
is they're awfully cute but their toenails are scary.
They're long, curved, and wicked with venomous drippings
so Bonzo wore gloves when collecting the clippings.
Alphabeast Soup is delightfully Seussian but grosser and far more satisfying to my inner logophile. The illustration is vibrant and wondrous.
Probably too long for kids. This might be an adult's book in baby clothes.
