Being a kid can be pretty scary! Both Amber and Tyler have had times where they’ve been afraid of different things (loud noises, scary bugs, and the dark to name a few!) In Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns About Courage our good friend Howard (we have quite the collection of Howard books now!) deals with these very scary things! In fact he gets so frightened at one point that he decides that he’s never going to leave his room again!
Through a little bird friend Howard discovers that just because you’re afraid it doesn’t mean that you’re not BRAVE! Being brave means doing things in spite of your fear, and that’s just what Howard learns to do–from loud noises to scary dogs Howard conquers his fears one by one–even his biggest fear of all–going to a new school!
So what is a 5 year old’s take on the book? Here is Amber’s review–verbatim:
“I think that when Howard learned about courage that he was very happy. I learned that so many things {from the book} and if I don’t be brave, I can’t be brave. But when I have my dreamlight, then I can learn about courage, and that’s how I learned about that book! “
This is the perfect book for any child since every one struggles with fear from time to time, I love how the concept of being brave is broken down in an easy way for them to understand in this fun book!
