Synopsis
What do animals do when they are afraid? They run, hide, or fly away. But when a little boy is afraid, his mother is there to comfort him. Through richly detailed illustrations that bring life to the expressions of the animals they depict, children learn that everyone feels afraid sometimes.

Reviews
PreSchool-K–This title has some positive attributes. Its modest structure–When frogs are afraid…they dive into a pond. When crows are afraid…they fly away–is easy to follow. After mentioning his kitten and his dog, the boy explains, When I get scared, I call Mommy or Daddy. The illustrations are at once artistic and childlike. Sharply defined facial expressions appear on gentle, reassuring pastel backgrounds. These qualities make the book worth owning but are not compelling enough to make it a first purchase. The real strength is Gorbachev's whimsical art. However, many enchanting and even funny selections address children's fears, such as Mercer Mayer's There's a Nightmare in My Closet (Dial, 1968) and Ed Emberley's Go Away, Big Green Monster (Little, Brown, 1993).–Susan Weitz, formerly at Spencer-Van Etten School District, Spencer, NY
