About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is spiraling into 'worst-case scenario' thinking about an upcoming school milestone, like a first field trip, a class play, or a new teacher. It is specifically designed for the child whose vivid imagination tends to conjure up monsters when faced with the unknown. By leaning into the absurdity of these fears, the series helps children externalize their anxiety and laugh at it. The stories follow Hubie, a young boy who imagines his school world is populated by literal monsters, only to find that reality is much more mundane (and manageable). These chapter books are perfect for 7 to 10-year-olds who are transitioning to independent reading. They offer a safe way to explore feelings of powerlessness and nervousness, ultimately teaching kids that while their feelings are real, their fears are often just tall tales they tell themselves.
