"I bought this for my child who has their fair share of anger at times. He enjoys watching super monsters and relates to the monster characters. This book was convicting and opened a dialogue to discuss the seed of the anger. Nicely done."

"Little Ones LOVE Tame the Beast! Tame the Beast is a great addition to the D. K. Brantley family of books. My child loved that she recognized the characters from Every Mummy Has a Mommy and Plain Old Frankie. This time, the topic is taming the beast, or how to deal when you feel angry or upset. But it isn't just about overcoming anger or frustration! Somehow Brantley manages to weave in a message to help children feel accountable for the times they may have fed someone else's beast -- like 'borrowing' their sister's doll. The rhyming and visuals also adds an element of fun to the story. My 5-year-old and baby loved the bright images. At the end of the book, my daughter chanted with me, 'Tame the Beast!' We loved it."

"As a grown-up, sometimes it's easy to forget that at some point in my life, I had to learn to both understand and deal with my emotions. Tame the Beast offers a great opportunity for parents to talk with their kids about feelings. It also encourages the reader to view problems with a different perspective and to be honest with themselves about making mistakes. My daughter loved the fun illustrations of different beasts and monsters learning to deal with life's frustrations."

"My kids love DK Brantley's books. In this one in particular, they really enjoyed the silliness. I appreciated that it encouraged the idea of personal responsibility and opened the door for a teachable conversation with my kindergartner."
