'Nothing and no one scares us' sing best friends Lucy and Lenny, 'the Fearless Two'. But Lucy is terrified of the slimy green Creature on television, whose horrors intrude even into her sleep, and Lenny is petrified by a little spider on his bowl of popcorn. Beginning with the striking cover, the boldly outlined childlike drawings and the bright colours will attract young readers to this warm-hearted tale of fears overcome and supportive friendship.
