5.0 out of 5 stars Super sweet story!

This book reminded me of the bedtime stories I was read as a child. I’m so thrilled to be able to continue the bedtime tradition with this book! The story was sweet and adorable and the illustrations are beautiful and soft. The perfect children’s bedtime story!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A sweet, creative approach to helping kids with bedtime fears!

I thought this concept was lovely, and my 2-year-old has already asked to read it about 10 times in 2 days! The words are lyrical and and fun, and the concept of two children (albeit of different species) being afraid of their differences and ultimately find friendship and common interests and feelings is not lost on me. It’s a very sweet story with an important message!

Monster stories are always popular with kids. Some kids relish being a little bit scared, and others need reassurance that the noises they hear in the night won’t hurt them. Ishkabibble Unafraid is a perfect story to share with kids who are afraid of noises at night. Jack Foster has depicted Ishkabibble as a one-eyed, green furry monster with colorful horns and a big goofy grin. His illustrations are full of wonderful details including a little mouse who appears throughout the story. Cindi Handley Goodeaux has flipped the monster story by focusing on Ishkabibble and his worries, instead of the child’s fears. It’s a clever way for kids to see someone else’s perspective. Ishkabibble Unafraid will be a reassuring read for all those a little afraid of what lurks in the dark.
