Prize-winning Debi Gliori has written an empowering story about very small people overcoming very big terrors. When Little Pip, a rabbit with the longest list of fears in the world, hears a terrible RARRR coming from all around him he knows it must be the scariest thing he can possibly imagine. The only thing to do is to run as far away as possible. But the RARRR doesn’t go away….Gradually Little Pip the RARRR comes from him. Maybe he is the scariest thing in the world? Gorgeous pictures capture Little Pip’s terror and the way he triumphantly overcomes it.
Synopsis
The Scariest Thing of All by Debi GlioriA tale about worries and fears familiar to all pre-school readers, by bestselling author and illustrator Debi Gliori. A little rabbit has a seemingly endless list of things to be afraid of. Even his family aren't sure how to help him overcome his anxieties! One day, everything gets just about as bad as it can and the little rabbit finally has to face his fears. In so doing, of course, he realises that nothing is as big, bad or as terrifying as it first appears.
