My girls picked this themselves just based on the cover. It is a great simple, imaginative and clever story that will really help your children understand how to understand and confront their fears. It is an awesome book to read also because the style is very different from mainstream,over-formulated books that are out everywhere. The rabbit is a great role model for any little kid who needs an example of someone small and quiet being a brave and cunning hero. If your child is not yet addressing fear of the dark or toddler anxieties, I would skip this. It is a little scary in a quiet & spooky kind of way.
