We love the Redwall world, and this shorter story was perfect for bringing the littlest into it. I read it aloud to my four children - ages 3, 6, 8, 10 - in three sittings. We could maybe have read it all through without the three year old. He enjoyed it, though. The rhyming structure kept attention and made for a treat.

Cute book, but very long! I didn't think it was ever going to end- I thought I would fall asleep before my son would.

A fun way to introduce my kiddos to Jacques' 'Redwall' series. :)

I'm not sure, but I recall recently having seen a Redwall cookbook that really looked like this one. I do have the Redwall Cookbook. I was a bit saddened that it wasn't a cookbook, but, as I had never seen the book before, well pleased by it! I love the series and had no idea these little side books existed! It will make a great read to go along with the recipes in the cookbook! I love the poem and illustrations! Just wonderful!

This was one of my stepchildren's favorite books when they were children. I gave it to my youngest niece about a month ago.

Another cute Redwall picture book. The pictures are very nice, done in colored pencils it appears. This one is in verse, making it suited to younger kids as it is not as long as the Winter Tale one.

Set after the first Redwall novel, the one involving Cluny the Scourge, this cute Redwall story involves memorable characters from that book (eg: Matthias the warrior, Basil Stag Hare, Cornflower, Constance, Sam the squirrel, etc.)

Told in rhymes, we find out how the people of the Redwall Abbey try to set a surprise party for their abbot. Though they are in for a surprise themselves. Brian Jacques once again adds wonderful layers to this wonderful universe from which he seems to know every little detail.

A great round of applause too for Christopher Denise illustrations. His soft pastels and character designs are very gorgeous and give the Redwall universe very appealing art for younger readers and die-hard fans.

In the end, this gorgeous book is another pearl in the Redwall Series.

5 stars. Ahhh, another excellent addition to the Redwall series. It’s a super cute story with the usual lovely writing and the wonderful Redwall/Mattimeo characters, and THE ILLUSTRATIONS!! I just can’t get over how sweet this is <33

another proof of Brian's immense talent. great feast indeed!

Beautifully rendered and told

A story written in the form of a ballad about how the inhabitants of Redwall prepare a feast for their beloved Abbot as he along with Matthias, Constance and Foremore travel in Mossflower Woods searching for the mysterious Bobbatan Weary Nod. As in all of The Redwall stories in the series the dishes sound mouthwatering. A new character, Baby Mole Bungo, is introduced in this ballad, and he is a handful, and a bit of a sneak thief, and liar.
