Notes
Horace the elephant is turning eleven and invites his friends to a ‘fantastic feast’. A menagerie of animals arrive in splendid fancy dress, only to be told that they must wait till the eleventh hour before they can touch the superb banquet. Eleven games are played until the time to eat arrives, but when the time comes, the feast has disappeared, been eaten, devoured. But, the question is, by whom? Stunning illustrations abound with jokes, clues and references. Readers must study these and the rhyming text with care to solve the mystery.Additional Info
