Samuel Scaredosaurus
Brian Moses
- Reading
- Read together if you want to pause around the situations Samuel fears. Invite the child to share their own ideas, and use the included parent or teacher notes if helpful.
- Themes
- Fear and growing braver: Samuel fears shadows, strange noises and meeting new dinosaurs; the story follows him as he grows braver. The outline presents fear as something Samuel works through, but does not establish a broader judgement about being afraid or a particular method of coping.
- Worth knowing
- Shadows, strange noises and unfamiliar social encounters are named as things Samuel fears. These themes may be worth noting if a child is currently worried by similar situations.
