Description
An irresistible story about finding the bright spark of braveness inside from the creators of One Camel Called Doug, and the author of award-winning The Littlest Yak.
Mavis is not like her adventurous friend Marge. Mavis is a chicken who finds EVERYTHING scary (night-time and daytime and anything hairy!). So when the slumbering peace of their cosy barn is disturbed by someone trying to steal their friend Sandra the sheep, will Mavis be able to find her bright spark of braveness and save Sandra?
This adorably warm-hearted story is brimful of humour, reassurance – and two exceedingly courageous chickens!

Mavis is a chicken who likes to contentedly and quietly sit and knit in her barn - away from the challenges of the world outside. Her friend Marge encourages her to be brave but she just can’t do it.But things change one night when Mavis is the call of Sandra the Sheep being stolen …now is the time for Mavis to find her inner strength… can she do it ?
Lu Fraser has followed up previous gems with another winner and with the wonderful illustrations of Sarah Warburton, this is a total delight from start to finish . Beautiful rhyming sentences and filled with humour, warmth and understanding make this a wonderful book for under 7s. The illustrations of Mavis happily knitting are adorable and the expressions on her face as she rescues Sandra are brilliant. a wonderful book for exploring emotions and those times when we have to confront our fears .
This is a book I’ll be recommending to family and friends and using with ks1 colleagues in school

Mavis the Bravest is a lovely book which both myself and my 6 year old son loved. The story is extremely enjoyable and we loved the characters. It is also beautifully illustrated.
Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster UK Children's for my ARC.
