Today’s Lunch Special: One very unlucky fish named Eustace.
Bear lives a quiet, organized life in a lighthouse, far away from the rest of the world. Bear is great at mending clothes, sweeping floors, and—most importantly—catching lunch. Today, the catch of the day is Eustace.
There’s just one problem: Eustace would really like to stay alive. After all, he has a girlfriend waiting for him back in the ocean! What follows is a comical battle of wits filled with diversions, a pinch of luck, and the surprising power of friendship. Will Eustace end up back in the salty sea, or is he destined for Bear's giant stock pot?
With brilliant, high-energy illustrations and a plot that keeps you guessing, Don't Eat Eustace is a laugh-out-loud adventure that children will want to read over and over again.
