Is It Any Good?
Although the illustrations are somewhat subdued compared to other books in Dr. Seuss's catalog, this digital version of WHAT WAS I SCARED OF? still offers many fun ways for kids to interact with the story. Kids can read aloud themselves, tap a paragraph to hear it spoken, or listen to a wonderful narrator recite the whole story while following along with highlighted words. Kids can also tap on the scenery to learn words. Some tasteful animations that sweep across the page to focus on different parts of the illustration add yet another point of interest for young eyes.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
