This was a fun way to spend an hour reading. The rhyming is a little awkward in places and there's not as much description of the food as I might have liked, but it was a fun, nostalgic read. I was actually surprised by the ending so props for that. Of course, I'm biased - this book is set in my favourite era of Redwall. No surprise I loved it.

This Brian Jacques picture book about the making of a surprise party for the Abbot of Redwall will appeal to a broad audience of readers, from preschoolers to the usual Redwall audience. I loved the illustrations, and enjoyed the clever poem and puzzle.

I started reading the Redwall stories because they were about animals, including otters. Anything that anthropomorphizes animals, and has otters in it, was made for me - I know that's not how we're supposed to view nature, but who doesn't love a mouse in a waistcoat? With Redwall adventures, I enjoyed the daring-do of mice, badgers, otters and moles in Brian Jacques's world - fighting against the evil rats and animals gone wrong in a world much older, more involved and seemingly more dangerous world than we all know of from Wind in the Willows.

This story is a simpler Redwall one, told in a rhythmic poem that's fun to read out loud. There are lovely, soft and warm illustrations by Christopher Denise that you can share with young children. Although not a complex tale with multiple story lines, The Great Redwall Feast is quite the Redwall showcase. Beautiful.

The illustrations are what sends this sweet story over the top! I've enjoyed every one of the Redwall series that I've read over the years. This is a beautifully illustrated slice of abbey life that's not to be missed.

I don't know if I ever finished this book...It's not the classic style, it's a kids book. The whole thing rhymes

A fun, rhyming poem in the same vein as Longfellow telling the story of a surprise feast and a quest.

"Acres of afternoon" are among the most beautiful phrases ever written. A celebration of celebration. A reminder of the labor and happiness involved in feast preparation.

The whole YA series on Redwall is a lot of fun for everyone. This medieval repast in particular.

A magical dive into a cozy day at Redwall. Highly recommended for fans of the series ages 8+.

Liebevoll gezeichnet und ausgesuchte Wortwahl. Reimschema & Versmass sind manchmal etwas irritierend, ich hätte gern das englische Original zum Vergleich.

I read this book aloud to my grandson over the course of three nights and he really enjoyed it (I loved it). The soothing pace and musical rhythm of this beautiful tale about the preparations for a fantastic feast to honor Redwall's beloved Abbot is enchanting. As in A Winter's Tale, once again Bungo, the molebabe, is a humorously adorable rascal and Father Abbot surprises his friends with his sharp wit and wisdom.
