Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the 'scary' things they imagine are lurking in the woods or under the bed. It provides a safe, humorous space to explore the feeling of being small in a world full of big unknowns. Eddie and his mom set out for a picnic in the forest, only for Eddie to become increasingly convinced that a giant bear is nearby. While his mom is initially dismissive, the encounter eventually happens, blending tension with laugh out loud physical comedy. This story is perfect for children aged 3 to 7 who need to see that even big fears can be handled with a little bit of luck and a lot of humor. It is a wonderful tool for validating a child's intuition while showing them that the world, though big, isn't always as scary as it seems.
