When an ostrich is afraid, it sticks its head in the sand. When a turtle is afraid, it shrinks into its shell. Rabbits run away and cats hide under the bed. Using animals as examples, this book shows that everyone is afraid sometimes.

Before moving to the United States in 1992, Valeri Gorbachev was one of the most popular illustrators in Russia. He has dozens of children's books to his credit in Russia, as well as in America. He currently lives in Brooklyn, New York.
What does an ostrich do when it is afraid? What about a frog? In When Someone Is Afraid, Gorbachev explores various ways that creatures react to fear. A frog will dive underwater; a turtle will pull its head into its shell; an ostrich will bury its head in the sand. What might a little boy or girl do? Kostya Gorbachev, Valeri's son, creates colorful and detailed illustrations to accompany the text. The characters are depicted in an expressive manner and each animals fear is treated distinctly. Children will enjoy reading this book. They might try to guess how each animal will react to fear and will probably relate to the little boy. --Children's Book and Play Review
...A soothing bedtime story for younger children. --Tacoma Public Schools
