I'm Scared (Dealing with Feelings) Elizabeth Crary

Too often kids? feelings get ignored. "I'm Scared" is part of the "Dealing with Feelings" series that helps children and adults accept and acknowledge their emotions. It also helps them distinguish between feelings and actions. Even more important, the stories give kids several ways to cope with feelings by utilizing the "choose-your-own-ending" format. They also allow parents and teachers to discuss other situations in a nonjudgmental way.

This story describes a girl who is anxious to meet the new kids next door...but frightened by their big dog. Young readers and their parents can help her decide how to handle her fear.
