Some Things Are Scary

32 pp. | Candlewick | October, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-1222-7 $$15.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jules Feiffer. This compilation of scary things is little more than a list, but it's a true one, confronting children's fears in an empowering and reassuring way. From obvious bugaboos to more abstract fears, all the entries reflect the truth of childhood emotion. Stomach-dropping scary things are tempered with the occasionally humorous, and overall the tone is more light than dark, thanks in part to Feiffer's energetic, spectacularly expressive illustrations.
