A review by dark_reader
The Great Redwall Feast by Brian Jacques

5.0

Read this to my 4-year old, over and over. She loved it, and I loved reading it to her! Wonderful language, poetic and evocative, excellent vocabulary that can only expand a child's mind. Her favorite parts were every Skipper the Otter appearance and the mole language. She has not previously encountered the Redwall series. The illustrations are lovely and serene and go along well with the action, although I wish there was an image of the feast all laid out; the illustrations seem to skip from just before the feast to the dancing afterwards. It may be a bit advanced for some young readers, but provides great opportunities to discover new words. It might be too simple for those who are reading the full Redwall novels on their own, but at the same time it almost requires previous knowledge of the characters from the first couple of volumes in the series. Alternately, you could look it as a perfect introduction to the Redwall universe and characters for those too young to start on the novels. I have always read a lot to my children and my 4-year old impressed me with her comprehension of this long storybook.
