Marlon and the Scary Something

Marlon and the Scary Something

2022 • 92 pages

This is a delightful story about facing our fears.

The illustrations are very beautiful, and the story teaches methods to deal with fear and anxiety in a simple and appropriate way for children.
The writing is careful and includes some rhymes which add dynamism to the story.

I especially enjoyed reading from the different POV. They were well written and perfectly showed the different personalities and approaching styles of dogs and cats (at least in my experience).

I have read this book as bedtime story for my little girl (3 to 4 chapters each night) but I think it would also be very interesting for practicing reading skills. I will definitely read other books from this author.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
