These are a collection of READ-TO stories for younger children. THey are all about different animals who are each afraid of the one thing most inconvenient to their lives. These are fears that many children have and indeed that a fair number of adults carry with them into their older lives. However, in THE WHO'S AFRAID STORIES there is always a remedy. Each animal finds a happy solution of how to conquer their fear through the love and kindness of friends, family or a chance encounter with a willing helper. This serves two purposes, as the helpers who solve their problems find out what a good feeling it gives them to be able to help someone in need. The stories are written in fairly grown-up language to extend ther child's vocabulary and the illustrationa will give them fun to colour and scope for their imagination.
