You're Not So Scary, Sid!

A cleverly designed hand puppet book – the hole in the middle has Sid’s big mouth hanging out of it. Perfect for young readers to stick their hands in and pretend to be Sid roaring or eating. Is he really the big scary monster he makes out to be? What if we scare him back? He bawls his eyes out and wants to go home! Poor thing, let’s take him home and give him his tea. At which point Sid has an apology he’d like to make: ‘Sorry I scared you.’ Bright and bold paintings provide a full colour background on each double page spread. The text looks like it’s been painted on too, with letters of varying size and thickness, but it’s all clear and imaginative. A lovely title, sure to be a favourite with little ones.
