Synopsis

"Full of gentle humor and warmth, this is an exuberant story about learning to try new things. Marty Muskrat is a scaredy-rat. He's scared of riding bikes, he's scared of climbing trees, and he's scared of swinging on ropes. When Marty's class goes to Funland Park, his mom writes him a note excusing him from the rides, but his friends convince him to put aside his fears. With their help he discovers there are only three kinds of scared—going fast, getting bumped, and climbing to amazing heights—and he can conquer every one! This light-hearted tale teaches kids important lessons about risk-taking, friendship, confidence, and self-esteem."
