Ages 2-5. This well-conceived volume by the writer of When I Feel Angry (2000) deals sensitively with children's fears. In the page-long author's note, Spelman makes a strong case for adults' acknowledging childhood fears rather than denying or downplaying them. In the story, a little bear talks about what makes him scared, what fear feels like, how the fear sometimes keeps him safe, and how he can deal with unnecessary fears. The short, well-reasoned narrative, child-centered point of view, and practical suggestions make this a good choice for preschoolers. Parkinson's expressive line-and-watercolor illustrations of the little bear and his family will strongly appeal to young children. A fine addition to The Way I Feel series. Carolyn PhelanAges 2-5.
