Who Feels Scared?

Graves and Guicciardini address fear in this offering, part of the new Our Emotions and Behavior series. When Kevin, Ravi, and Jack have a sleepover, they hear noises in the closet and imagine that it’s a monster, but Jack’s sister, Ellie, shows them that it’s just a toy robot. Ellie is afraid of flying, but listening to music on a plane relieves her fear; other fears and potential solutions are presented as well. Though the topic is covered in a general way, Guicciardini’s engaging cartoons and the message about finding workarounds should prove practical. Available simultaneously: I’m Not Happy, Not Fair, Won’t Share, and But Why Can’t I? Ages 4–8. (Aug.)
