Book Description
for Some Things Are Scary by Florence Parry Heide and Jules Feiffer
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
“Stepping on something squishy when you in your bare feet is scary./ Holding on to someone’s hand that isn’t your mother’s when you thought it was is scary.” Florence Parry Heide’s amusing catalogue of everyday tests of courage was first published in 1969. Now reissued in full color with Feiffer’s comically exaggerated illustrations, it will find a new generation of young readers who are brave enough to laugh at some of their own fears (Ages 7-11)
