This work by the American children's writer Kathleen Stevens was originally published as a short story in Cricket an overseas children's magazine. The Australian publisher Childerset expressed interest in publishing the story as a picture book. The picture book was illustrated by Australian designer and illustrator Ray Bowler. Kathleen Stevens went on to write two more 'Beast' books The Beast and the Babysitter (1989) and The Beast at the Beach (1990) also illustrated by Ray Bowler. These were first published in the US.
