I'm Scared

by Elizabeth Crary, Jean Whitney (Illustrator)

This series recognizes that children are entitled to their feelings even when their behavior needs to be corrected. It acknowledges specific feelings and offers children several ways to deal with them. Each book features a choose-your-own-adventure format, and shows what different outcomes of choices might be—allowing children to back up and try another solution if they don’t like the outcome, or to try a variety of choices to see how each might turn out. Tracy is terrified of the new neighbor’s dog, and needs help deciding what to do about her feelings. Children learn several strategies for coping with fear in positive ways.
