Some Things Are Scary
(No Matter How Old You Are)
by, Florence Parry Heide
illustrated by, Jules Feiffer
This charming book explores things that are scary- both things that probably truly worry children, and very silly scary things. The book has a nice mix of serious with silly. I particularly enjoyed this book because my 6 year old son seems to worry a lot and have a lot of fears. His latest concern is that he doesn't want to move away from home when he is a grown up. The final page in this book says "knowing you're going to grow up to be a grownup is scary." How perfect for my son!
Kids can worry about so many things, and I love that this book addresses these issues. The illustrations are simply done in watercolor and felt-tip marker. The illustrator does a nice job of depicting looks of fear, worry and concern on the child's face in this book. This is a great book for gently addressing fears that children encounter.
