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.
