PreS In I'll Try, the idea of overcoming frustration through persistence is successfully presented. A young child tries to dress himself (with the help of his dog). He is ready to give up until his mother advises him to try really hard, and he is finally successful. Each page of text is one or two short sentences, facing a full page of colorful illustration. It's DarkBut I'm Not Scared features a child who deals with his fear of the dark by singling out and identifying each potentially frightening object in his room. When he has identified everything and taken his stuffed animals to bed with him, he is able to go to sleep. This book is directed toward a younger age group than most others about fear of the dark, and shows children an active way of dealing with their fears. These books are too small to be useful for storytimes, but will be appealing for a one-on-one. Nancy Doe Maday, Pikes Peak Library District, Colorado Springs

Product Description
A toddler talks himself out of his fear of the dark, in part by remembering everything is the same as during the day and that night is merely a soft blanket covering the room.
