I really should! I hope the first few pages are still around somewhere, but I probably shouldn't get my hopes up.

I love the premise of this story. We are all afraid of something, so this is perfect to present to kids early. Plus, who doesn't love a snow day? Thanks!

I like your idea of a question and answer section in this children's book. I agree that such things help children not to lose sight of the morality of the story.Nice review.

Even if you don't find them, I bet you could still figure it out from scratch.

Thank you! I agree, plus the questions allow adults to tell children stories of when they were afraid and how they overcame their fear.

This book does sounds absolutely "adorable!" My baby brother is too young to relate to the ideas presented right now, but I could see this being a good book for him in the coming years.

"Timmy learning to conquer the big hill" is such a delightful and meaningful lesson for young children. The editing mistakes are too unfortunate, and I hope the book will get professional help soon since I agree that correct spelling and punctuation are essential in children's books. Thank you for this lovely review!

This book will be great not only for kids but it can also be used as an avenue for parents to educate children on fear and how to handle it. Kids might also be more open about their fears after reading this. Great review.

I love the idea of this book. It would be a good one for my son and I to read together. It has a lot of potential.

The way you gushed over the book is so endearing. I hope it helps someone out there face their fears and overcome it. Good review.
