The Lonely Beast (The Beast) by Chris Judge (3-Feb-2011) Paperback Paperback – 1600

One of my three yr old's favorite books. He kept wanting it from the library so I finally bought it! Fun read even for me about a "lonely" beast wanting to find some other beasts like him for friends.

My children like the book a lot it’s very fun story to read and the pictures are very great and good

My granddaughters so enjoyed this book at my house that I gave it to them for Valentines Day at their house.

I bought this book for my nephew, who loved it.The illustrations are so colorful and bright, and the 'lonely beast' is a great character.I would definitely recommend this book for any child.

When a rare beast becomes lonely, he sets out to find more beasts. Traveling through all sorts of environments, the beast walks and walks until he finds a city. People in the city visit the beast and he talks on the radio and television, not to mention in the paper, but the beast still feels lonely and he misses his home. The beast travels back through all of the environments, only to discover that his fellow beasts, lonely, too, had come to find him in his garden. Children ages 4-7 will appreciate this story of being different and finding home and friends.

This is a wonderfully illustrated book that my 3.5 yo son loves. He likes to see all the adventures that this lonely beast goes in search of and comments on the pictures. He brought his copy of the book to show and tell today to share with his classmates, he was so excited!

My kids, ages 4 and 5, really enjoyed this book. My daughter asked me to read it to her three times the day we got it. The Beast is a sweet character that the kids immediately loved, the illustrations are wonderful, and the story is fun, a little silly, and very endearing. Your kids will enjoy it and so will you.Synopsis: The Beast feels lonely one day and goes on a trek over many terrains and through the ocean looking for more Beasts. He eventually finds some friendly people in the big city, whom he likes but he soon begins to miss his old home and heads back. The Beast finds a fun surprise waiting for him when he finally returns home.

A delightful book in every way. The illustrations appealed to me as much as to my son and daughter. Others have summarized the book well, so I will only add my voice cheering Mr. Judge, and asking him for more great books!
