What Parents Need to Know

About Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears

Parents need to know that the interactive design of this clever encyclopedic journal of phobias and fears includes nothing inappropriate or scary, except possibly for the fears themselves. Sensitive children may need to discuss the pages with an understanding adult, but then that seems to be exactly the point and purpose of this book.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about each of things Little Mouse is afraid of: spiders, insects, monsters, going to bed, knives, bathing, and so on. How does being afraid make her feel? What exactly makes her afraid? Does she have any real reason? What does she do about it? What fears do you have? How do you handle them? On each page, the author offers space for the reader to record his or her fear, and she encourages expression through drawing, writing, or collage-making. Do you think that might help with your fears? Do you agree that facing fears might help you overcome them?
