BLOG TOUR w/ GIVEAWAY: Max the Brave by Ed Vere


ABOUT THE BOOK

Max is a fearless kitten. Max is a brave kitten. Max is a kitten who chases mice. There’s only one problem—Max doesn’t know what a mouse looks like! With a little bit of bad advice, Max finds himself facing a much bigger challenge. Maybe Max doesn’t have to be Max the Brave all the time…

Join this adventurous black cat as he very politely asks a variety of animals for help in finding a mouse. Young readers will delight in Max’s mistakes, while adults will love the subtle, tongue-in-cheek humor of this new children’s classic.

REVIEW

Max the brave sets off to prove himself a brave, fearless kitten by chasing mice.  The only problem is that Max doesn't know what a mouse looks like, so he politely asks the different creatures he encounters.  But when he does encounter a mouse, the mouse tells a lie and Max finds himself in trouble.  The mix-up is bound to inspire giggles from young readers, and the twist at the end is funny as well.  This is a book that is definitely going on my favorites shelf.  Lots of fun to be had in sharing this book as long as the young listener or reader knows what a mouse is (wink, wink).
