5-Star Review from Readers’ Favorite

Author Pattie Manente tells a delightful tale about an adorable Labrador puppy who finds his courage with the help of his friends and shows tremendous bravery in facing his innermost fears. – Pikasho Deka, Readers’ Favorite

The illustrations by Olena Khakovenko are a fantastic blend of realism in full color and more muted background tones that allow for Brady, his yard pals, and those big, bad shadows to really pop. Together, Manente and Khakovenko have crafted a perfect addition to our bedtime reading routine. – Jamie Michele, Readers’ Favorite

Pattie Manente expertly weaves profoundly important coping mechanisms in a tidy little children’s book. Brady succeeds in facing his fear by using quieting, breathing, and affirmations, which is the real, albeit nuanced, point of the story. – Asher Syed, Readers’ Favorite

Brady and the Backyard Monster by Pattie Manente is a brilliant storybook for children. It is creative, original, and vibrant. – Jenny Moore, Readers’ Favorite

    Jessica Hoeschen – May 17, 2022

    I have taught Kindergarten for 22 years and I have read many books over my career. Brady and the Backyard Monster will now be used every year in my class. My students loved it and wanted to hear it again! That’s a wonderful sign! All of us fell in love with the drawings and related to adorable pup, Brady, and his fear of the unknown! This book can used to teach and discuss courage, friendships, normal fears and over coming them. I will also use it during my Shadows Unit around Groundhogs Day! A must have and a must read!

    • BiblioKid Publishing – May 24, 2022

      Aww thanks, Jessica! That is wonderful to hear 🙂

    I just finished reading this book, and had to write a review immediately. Brady is adorable. Illustrations are so engaging, and I am convinced that young children will want you to read this book over and over again. Brady and the Backyard Monster is the perfect book to empower children to use strategies to overcome their fears. Brady’s strategies are perfect for 3-7 year old children! This is such a fun read!

    This is truly a sweet and charming story about Brady who overcomes his own imagined fears. A valuable lesson for us all written in such an entertaining and witty way, that it will enchant young children. They will be engaged by this adorable, amusing and beautifully illustrated puppy and will come to learn that most fears are in our heads! I highly recommend this book!

  6. Rated 5 out of 5

    Taylor – September 16, 2022

    This is such a wonderful book. The lessons and psychology of overcoming fear this teaches us is very important. Especially, to children who are are developing fears and are unaware of them. This is a MUST read for any child.

    • Alyson Bowen – September 19, 2022

      Thank you Taylor 🌟 It’s a great reminder for us adults too.

  7. Rated 5 out of 5

    Motor Mouse – September 23, 2022

    Pattie Manente’s, “Brady and the Backyard Monster,” illustrated by Olena Kharkovenko, is magnificent! It explores a youth’s fear that we can all learn from. It has an insightful story with beautiful artwork on each page about a lovely, nervous puppy named Brady who develops a big fear of a monster! There are twists and turns along the way involving appearances from the monster and friendly neighborhood animals. Furthermore, there is mystery, suspense, and fright, as well as charm, problem solving, happiness, and learning. This story allows much to be explored for a curious mind and much to learn from, including ways to cope with fear. For these reasons and more, I highly recommend this story for children and adults alike. Excellently done!

  8. Rated 5 out of 5

    Becca Johnsey – February 2, 2023

    Use this adorable story to help your little ones overcome their fears. Pattie delivers a delightful story that lets kids approach the idea of fears in a safe way and gives fantastic advice on how to overcome them. Brady is an adorable pup that your kids will love to read about over and over again. Highly recommend this book!
