Reviews
A terrific blend of exuberant artwork and verbally exuberant text
Irish Times, Best Book of the Year
Judge’s eye-catching illustrations are a joy.
Irish Independent
Lively, contemporary illustrations pull you along on another greaet adventure. Fantastic!
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.
Irish Times
A delight for a young child; I have tested it with great success
The School Librarian
I cannot fault this book. It has everything a children’s book should have; a great plot, interesting lead character and bold artwork . . . A book to cherish and share again and again.
