PreS—Some toddlers have a variety of fears, while others embrace the chaos and uncertainty of their lives. Little Iffy is a griffin (that wonderful mythological creature that is a mix of eagle and lion), and, paradoxically, he is afraid of flying. When he imagines going up, he wonders how he will be able to come down. Iffy's friend, Eggs Pegasus, hatches several plans to help Iffy overcome his fear of flying, but Iffy can't attempt any of the plans or even flap his wings because he believes that "down is best." When Iffy is accidentally catapulted into the sky and finds himself coming down very fast, he is forced to flap his wings and thereby overcomes his fear of "up." The illustrations are endearing and colorful, while the limited text on each page is perfect for young children. Further, the words "up" and "down" are in different colors than the rest of the text ("up" is always orange while "down" is purple), allowing children who are just beginning to read to recognize these repetitive words more easily. VERDICT A charming read-aloud for young children that shows them how friends can help them overcome their fears.—Sally James, South Hillsborough Elementary School, CA
