Is it any good?
The section for parents and teachers includes a very good collection of links to sites that not only give more readiness information, but also provide tips on coping with stress and fear. The beautiful illustrations on the site are by Betsy Baytos, whose credits include work on
The Rescuers
and
Pete's Dragon
films as well as product design work on the Coca-Cola polar bear characters.
