Scared you! This little mouse thinks he's the bravest animal around, but it seems that he's not the only one. . .
All the animals are keen to show off their bravery—from the crocodile with his mighty jaws, to the tiger with her scary claws! But who will be the bravest of them all?
Ben Newman is an award-winning illustrator who spends the majority of his time collaborating on the Professor Astro Cat children's books with his longtime friend and scientist, Dr. Dominic Walliman, which are published by Flying Eye Books and have been translated into eighteen languages.
[…] there are not many children anywhere who won’t be delighted to feel the suspense and then bellow out the release. [...] A natural as a high-volume storytime ice breaker or lagniappe.

Kirkus Reviews

Fun illustrations, easy to read text, this will make a great storytime addition!

—Nanci Booher, Multnomah County Library

With bright bold illustrations and a rhythm that delights, this book will make you grin!

—Jessica Sweedler DeHart, Wandering Bookseller

This is an especially great read-aloud, yell-along book for toddler and pre-k audiences!

—Rosemary Kiladitis, Librarian

Another winner from Nobrow and Flying Eye Books! The illustrations are always top notch. This title's bright simplistic images are appealing to the eye and sure to delight the picture book crowd. The story moved along at a brisk pace and the reading rhythm was spot on. The twist at the end will leave the kids giggling.

—Linda Canniff, La La in the LiBrArY
