Billy's walk in the forest with her trusty sidekick Fatcat turns into a rescue mission when a Terrible Beast decides to make a pot of Terrible Soup, using the forest's inhabitants as ingredients - even the adorable little bunny rabbits! 

Billy is a brilliantly inventive and resourceful protagonist, using the vast array of items she keeps in her hair to outwit the Beast. Readers will delight in the repetition as Billy thinks on her feet and saves the day time and time again. An offbeat and witty fairytale-esque story.
