A New York Times and USA Today Bestseller!
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.

"Another snazzy book that will appeal to design-savvy parents is Max the Brave...Max is an expressive huge-eyed black ball of kinetic kittenness who pops against each page's bright, differently colored background. Kids will be tickled that they can distinguish a mouse and a monster while Max doesn't, and - spoiler alert - the monster is more funny than scary." - The New York Times Sunday Book Review
"Max's guileless personality and single-minded pursuit of his goal make him the perfect stand-in for toddlers, and older children will appreciate Vere's playful wit and wish for Max's return." - Shelf Awareness for Readers-STARRED Review
"Minimalist illustrations and expressive fonts are set against colorful pages to sharpen the reader's focus on Max and the other animals... Max should find himself chasing Mouse into storytimes again and again.
