review 1: I found this book to be dark and rather frightening, particularly when thinking of the age group towards which it is directed. This is the story of a little boy who is scared of going to school for the first time and he asks the people in his life what scares them. His three older aunts, his father, and his mother all have something that scares them. There are many aspects of the book that are less than appealing as a children’s book to me: the images are compilations of photographs and drawings, but in a way that makes each person seem unreal. The text is lengthy and in very small print, which makes the images even more pronounced.This is a book that even I, as an adult, would be reluctant to read again.
review 2: Audience: Grades P-2, readers who are ex... moreperiencing new things, readers just starting school, teachers teaching about feelings.Appeal: This is a great book to teach that it is okay to feel scared. The book follows Garmann and the summer before he starts school. THe text is accompanied by unique pictures that are sure to catch the readers attention. Young readers may like the story because they can identify with the main character and make a connection to the situations he is going through. A quick read for the beginning of the school year.
