George in the Dark

(3) PS George is terrified of being alone at bedtime. When his stuffed bear is left in the dark, scary corner, George overcomes his fear for a rescue mission across the bedroom. For children who are afraid of the dark, George's story could encourage confidence. The graphite, gouache, and colored-pencil illustrations--well shaded to portray light and darkness--are reminiscent of old comics.
