(4) K-3 The traditional carol "The Friendly Beasts" has been expanded to include a wider variety of animals such as peacock, mongoose, and woodworm. The text works best when read rather than sung, since some of the scansion is awkward. Sumptuous illustrations are the main attraction here, exquisitely detailed and colored with generous use of gold.
