Wow what a busy last week – our tour started on 20th July with a event at Portsmouth!

Hello everyone!  Tom here.  As you all know the Four Little Pigs book is about my Granny magicking me into the Three Little Pigs fairy tale.  Now not all of us have a magical granny (though all granny’s are amazing – you just have to see the granny in the Fearsome Beastie!) – so for those of you who haven’t got a magical can now use the Four Little Pigs iPad… Read More »Transported into the Four Little Pigs!

Beastie Brownies

Yo!  It’s Gran here.  Ok so the Beastie Brownies recipe doesn’t contain any Fearsome Beastie but beasties do love them (so you can use them for bait or even tempt a fearsome beastie to a brownie rather than a child). So how do you make them? 1 cup vegetable oil 2 cups sugar 2 Teaspoons Vanilla 4 Large eggs 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder 2/3 cup Coco Powder 1/2 Teaspoon Salt… Read More »Beastie Brownies

BBQ a Beastie

Good afternoon!  It’s Gran here!  Last week we did Fearsome Fritters and before that Beastie Stew.  But now summer is on its way I thought I would show you how to….Barbeque a Beastie. Now a Beastie is a bit big to fit onto a barbeque, so get your gran to get out her trusty axe and cut your beastie into bite-size chunks  (or the ribs are good for this recipe too).  Pop… Read More »BBQ a Beastie
