About the book
Something’s brewing in the monster kitchen. Snarf Stew is the most important dish of Chef Evoo’s nightly menu, but tonight he needs help to make it. Follow his creepy, crawly recipe using the silliest, slimiest, stinkiest ingredients for a big surprise with a long-lasting finish.
Snarf Stew is a colorful, rhyming adventure through a house full of creature characters who all join in the fun to finish the recipe. It’s a tasty treat for readers of all ages.
Recommended audience
Pre-K and early readers will love the bright colors, silly words and the musical rhyming of the book. Kidults and elder monsters (of any number of tentacles) will appreciate the food puns, the subtle introduction to cooking, and most of all…giggles from the little ones.
