Publisher Description
"This 1970s classic is Ungerer at his sweetly subversive best."―New York Times Book Review
Monsieur Racine wakes up one day to find his precious pear tree looted of all the award-winning fruit. When he discovers that the culprit is funny-looking beast, his anger gives way to curiosity and two become friends. But the beast is not quite what it seems, eventually it comes apart-literally to show itself to be no beast at all, but the two playful children from next door, covered with skins and rags.Download and start listening now!

About Tomi Ungerer
Jean-Thomas “Tomi” Ungerer is a French illustrator and a writer in three languages. He has published over 140 books ranging from much loved children’s books to controversial adult work and from the fantastic to the autobiographical. He is known for sharp social satire and witty aphorisms. Ungerer received the international Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1998 for his “lasting contribution” as a children’s illustrator. Born in 1931 in Strasbourg, in the Alsace region of France, Ungerer now divides his time between his farm in Ireland, near the ocean that he loves, and Strasbourg, where a museum dedicated to his work opened in late 2007.
