SuitabookQui a peur?
Dorothée Roy
- Reading
- Preview the book together, pausing at the title and any images or unfamiliar words. Afterwards, invite the child to describe what happened and whether the book felt reassuring, amusing or unsettling.
- Themes
- Fear or apprehension: The title asks who is afraid, making fear the only identifiable possible subject. The title may invite discussion of fear, but it does not show whether fear is treated seriously, playfully, reassuringly or critically.
- Worth knowing
- Ask what the title’s question means to the child: is fear presented as ordinary, funny, troubling or something to understand? Let the child’s response guide the conversation rather than supplying an interpretation.
