The Café at the Edge of the Woods
The Café at the Edge of the Woods | Mikey Please
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Lemony Snicket meets Jon Klassen meets Grimms' fairy tales in an outrageously original picture book debut by BAFTA Award-winning and Oscar-nominated animation director Mikey Please. In The Café at the Edge of the Woods, an aspiring chef opens a café beside an enchanted forest and discovers locals with a most peculiar palette. Rene and Glumfoot are ready to serve Very Fine Cuisine at the Café at the Edge of the Woods. But when their first customer, an ogre, demands pickled bats that smell like farts, Rene is ready to give up! She can't possibly serve such rubbish. Or can she? With a little bit of compromise, perhaps she can satisfy her customer and still serve the most delicious grub. Full of humor, unlikely friendship, themes of teamwork, and unexpected surprises, this charming and hilarious picture book is a winning recipe for readers who loved A Spoonful of Frogs by Casey Lyall, The Dark by Lemony Snicket, The Skull by Jon Klassen, and any fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm!

Oh.My.God. What an amazing book! Just the graphics alone are well worth the read but the story included is just perfect! Rene opens up a cafe to serve her yummy food and hires Slewfoot, a quiet goblin as a waiter. The problem now is she doesn't have any customers. Slewfoot finds her an ogre as a customer but his requests are too strange for Rene to make. What will Rene do?? Just a wonderful touching story for any age
