Illustrated by
Daniel Salmieri.
When bubbles appear in La La Land, the monsters that live there are terrified. With great patience (and humor) the narrator urges them to face the bubbles rather than running away--after all, they have sharp fangs and claws. Detailed illustrations on black backgrounds show panicked, silly-looking beasts ultimately conceding: bubbles might not be dangerous, but...what about butterflies? A clever, deadpan conquering-fears story.
