I'm Not Scared!

My son love's this book. The owl is from the I'm Not Cute book. Good, quick stories that your child will love.

Allen, Jonathan, I'm not scared!" Hyperion Books for Children, 2007 A slightly apprehensive looking baby owl takes a walk with his toy owl dangling from one wing, "No one will bother us in the nighttime, he thought." Encircled by a dark blue fringed with purple, Baby Owl enters the scary-looking "moonlit woods" that are filled with towering trees; the "blue" trees are outlined in black. First Badger pops up looking suitably friendly, his mouth shows no teeth and curves in a smile as he says, "Don't be scared, Baby Owl" and tells him that, "It's past your bedtime." Owl replies, "I'm not scared!" and reminds Badger that, "owls stay up all night!" Next, a bear tumbles over the startled owl, and then a bat surprises him. Each time Baby Owl gets more and more frustrated that he needs to repeat himself about not being scared so his response gets louder; in fact, he lays down on his back, his little feet kicking up in the air, and screams his response to Bat. Along comes his papa who also tells him not to be scared; Baby Owl tells him that it is his toy owl that is scared, "Everyone keeps making him jump!" Dawn has arrived, so they walk home, and papa reads Baby Owl a story before tucking him into bed. Papa tells him that "It's okay to be a little bit scared of the dark," and Baby Owl tells Owly that, "Papa means you". Baby Owl first introduced in "I'm not cute" (Hyperion, 2006) has big white eyes, a curved yellow beak and bright yellow feet that expressively punctuate a more amorphous fuzzy brown body. Large bold font and robustly outlined figures stand out clearly against bright white paper. One very cute image shows Papa Owl holding Baby Owl against his chest as Baby Owl is holding Owly close to him. This delightful reassuring story will help all children feel braver as they head off to bed
