“You don’t scare me! So go away, scraggly purple hair!”
Genre: Fiction/Toy Book
This interactive book features a monster slowly forming into a creature that would elicit fear. The book starts by showing two yellow eyes, and the monster’s face is revealed as the story progresses. With every new page, a new feature is described and illustrated. When the monster’s green face is finally completely drawn, the “Go away!” command removes one facial feature after another until the monster disappears.
The simple layout and interaction of this book makes it easily accessible for children of varying ages. They can feel a sense of power over their fear as they tell it to go away. This idea represents the method of taking control of your fear.
