Francis the Scaredy Cat

32 pp. | Candlewick | September, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-1767-9 $$14.99
(3) PS Francis the cat is frightened of the dark, especially on nights when "the whispery hissy monster" shows up in the tree outside. Nevertheless, one night when Francis thinks the monster may have caught his friend, Ben, he bravely ventures outdoors to save him. The language is effective, and the simple yet bold illustrations reinforce the childlike tone.
