NOTHING SCARES THEM--FOR LONG!

Two inseparable friends pride themselves on their fearlessness as they banish monsters and pirates in imaginative play. When they discover the CREATURE feature on TV, one is delighted, but the other friend is so scared that she gets a stomach ache. However, she is even more scared that her friend will react negatively to her fears, so she suffers in silence--until she hears a scream. It is her friend, and she saves the day by rescuing him from a scary spider. He kindly returns the favor by turning off the TV when the dreaded CREATURE feature returns. They end up playing at being fearless again, having overcome their respective fears with their friend's help. Brightly illustrated, this book is appealing and shows children that different people have different fears, but they can be overcome or avoided.
