Reviews

Scared describes situations in which children feel frightened and how comforting by another helps. It also mentions that being scared can protect them against injury--for example, being afraid of a strange growling dog or climbing too high.

The short, well-reasoned narrative, child-centered point of view, and practical suggestions make this a good choice for preschoolers. Parkinson's expressive line-and-watercolor illustrations of the little bear and his family will strongly appeal to young children. A fine addition to The Way I Feel Series. --Booklist
