Pat the Beastie is a pop-up picture book that was made in 1993 and was written by Henrik Drescher and is a dark parody of Dorothy Kunhardt's classic children's book Pat the Bunny.In this story, Paul and Judy are two children who play mean tricks on their harmless pet Beastie. The Beastie is shown as being a large, green, scaly looking dragon creature. Paul and Judy would play tricks on the beastie that would include "jiggling the Beastie's eyes" and "poking its worm boogers." Meanwhile, a bird and a dog are constantly trying to warn the kids about not torturing the Beastie or else they will have to suffer the consequences.A sequel was made in 2011 called Love the Beastie. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Pat the Beastie / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Compared to Dorothy Kunhardt's book Pat the Bunny. The tone is much more mean-spirited, and the book has a Downer Ending. | |

Grotesque Gallery: Most of the characters in this book are drawn in a bizarre way, such as having a dragon like pet and a talking blue dog and green bird on the side pages. | |

Black Comedy | |
| Pat the Beastie / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: Readers are encouraged to play with various body parts on the Beastie such as jiggling his eyes and poking his worm boogers, despite the fact that the Beastie is clearly uncomfortable with all this. | |

Fourth-Wall Observer: The dog and the bird would stand on the side pages, commenting on Paul and Judy's actions against the Beastie and letting the reader know that Paul and Judy's actions are wrong. | |

| Pat the Beastie / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Paul and Judy are eaten by the Beastie at the end of the book. Although it depends on whether or not you think that Paul and Judy deserved their fate at the end of the book. | |

Surprisingly Creepy Moment: Even though most of the book is a black comedy, the scene where Paul and Judy are eaten by the Beastie at the end of the book can catch readers off guard. | |

Deconstructive Parody: This book is a parody of Dorothy Kunhardt's book Pat the Bunny. However, this book shows the consequences of what would happen if children play too roughly with their pets and how such actions would traumatize their pets. | |
