A Not Scary Story About Big Scary Things

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gabi Swiatkowska. A boy, confronted by the legendarily terrifying monster of the forest, won't be scared by something he knows is not real. His refusal to believe in the monster reduces it to a scruffy, unintimidating little cat. Swiatkowska's surreal illustrations support Williams's imaginative but meandering text, the logic of which may not resonate with children.
