Making it all seem normal is so powerful when it comes to fears. I think it calms it all down. I know it helps me because fear can be so paralyzing. Thanks for reading my review.

Thank you! I used to write a lot of poetry in my “youth.” So when I see rhymes, I go into counting the beats almost automatically. My inner Dr Suess just comes flying out! Ha! Thanks for reading my review. I appreciate it.

I am particularly interested in exploring how Kyle Derby Pratt approaches children facing their fears on their own. This sounds like a book ideal for children dealing with any sort of fear great or small!
You are so right! The book is really simple, but it can have such a strong impact on kids. Thanks for reading my review. I appreciate it.

The entire content makes me proud because they teach us moral lessons specially on kids. It helps them to overcome the fear and be brave enough to handle a situation.
A very positive and inspirational story. I would love to share this on my kids.

Just like Timmy, I have experienced this phobia for heights. It is a truly scary feeling. I hope that he was able to overcome his fear though. Thank you for your refreshing review.

I really like your comments on how Timmy overcame his fears. Your suggestions on the rhyming scheme are also interesting. This book looks good, in spite of the rhyming mishaps. Thanks for a great review.

I love your review! It is detailed and in-depth, obviously you enjoyed it.

As I read your review, a young boy who is close to me came to mind. He has anxiety over any new situation. This might be a good book for him.

I think the intention behind this book is great, and I would love to get both my nephew and niece to read it. I must say that I was initially drawn by the cover though. Thank you for the excellent review.

This is a good book to teach children that its okay to be afraid, and courage is not about not having fears but the ability to overcome it. This definitely made it to my list. Thanks for your excellent review. Too bad though about the forced rhyming.

Detailed review I must say. I like the storyline and what it conveys to kids. It's okay to get nervous, but you can overcome it by believing in yourself and imbibe a can-do attitude!
