The Don't Be Scared Book

by Ilse-Margret Vogel

Strange noises in the hall? Strange shapes in the dark? Don't be scared. Read here. Noises in the night. A cow in the pasture. A strange looking creature in the street. Don't be alarmed. Each scare has its own cure. Some fun. Some funny. And some just right for adventure. Take your pick—or take them all—both scares and cures.

This delightful picture book explains scary noises, shapes, and animals aren't so scary after all. Makes a great bedtime story.

[Grant Thomas]

A good book that teaches kids not be scared and to stand-up to big bullies. Even when it is a "Lion in the hallway."

[Bryce Decker]

This would be the perfect bedtime story. It explains any strange noises, shapes, or anything unusual in the night and makes it not scary.

[Alison Young]

Beautiful content and illustration. Does anyone know if there is another version? I recall two different scenes from my childhood copy that aren’t in this version and would love to see them.

I wonder if this is still on a shelf somewhere at my parents' house? I'd like a look at it. I remember loving it.
