When someone is afraid, what do they do? Whimsical pictures of animals reacting to fear will educate and delight children and show them that everyone is afraid sometimes and deals with that fear in their own way. Ostriches stick their heads in the sand, frogs jump into ponds, and in the soothing ending, a little boy is comforted by his mother when he wakes up from a bad dream.

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.
