The Brave Beast



A compelling and humorous picture book about overcoming fear from the award-winning creator of The Lonely Beast.

The Beast is back and this time it’s up to him to help restore peace to an island, which is being threatened by a
scary monster. Determined to face his fears, the Beast sets out to find the monster. But, perhaps, the island monster isn’t so scary after all . . .

A terrific blend of exuberant artwork and verbally exuberant text

Children's Books Ireland, Recommended Reads

The Brave Beast’s journey (is) brilliantly captured in Chris Judge’s vibrant illustrations.

Julia Eccleshare, Lovereading

The verbal extravagance of Judge’s text is well matched in the exuberance of his artwork, an undisciplined riot of primary colours. It all amounts to a perfect book for reading aloud, complete with many opportunities for sound effects.

Robert Dunbar, Irish Times

A delight for a young child; I have tested it with great success

The School Librarian

A terrific blend of exuberant artwork and verbally exuberant text

Robert Dunbar, Irish Times, Best Book of the Year
