This book contains beautifully colored pages that are attractive to kids. The illustrations have lots of expressions and are easy to understand. The writing should be easy to follow for preschoolers. It provides a great conversation piece for parents, teachers, and guardians. It will help to ensure the children of their safety and sort out the different things that can scare us at night or when we are alone. The theme has been covered before, yet our kids are so different from each other that I am sure this book will touch many kids suffering from anxiety in all its forms.
The main character in this book is a dog that is alone and exploring all the different noises usually associated with a house. The furnace, creaks, refrigerator, steps, squeaks, and many others noises can turn the child’s imagination into a field full of fun or a field full of fear. It is important for all parents to have an opportunity to re-assure their child that all is well and that normal noises are a reality they will have to live with for the rest of their lives. Once they are shown, or the noises explained, children will react more appropriately to them. This will surely make the difference between scared children that will burden their parents with their fears or those that will grow up ready to take on the world.
The story is well done. The drawings are age appropriate and colorful, yet easy on the eyes.
