Description
Book SynopsisMouse is often afraid. She doesn't dare to sit on the swing, because she's afraid she might fall. Climbing and playing soccer scares Mouse too. Luckily Giraffe knows what to do. He gives Mouse a daredevil-pebble, which makes Mouse very brave. She swings very high, plays soccer and she even dares to swim. But then Mouse suddenly notices she lost her daredevil-pebble. What now? A cheerful story about being brave.
Trade Review“These stories feature Kitty, Monkey, Mouse, Giraffe, Rabbit, and Dog as they experience everyday events. In Goodbye, Fish, Kitty's friends attempt to get her dead goldfish to respond. When tickling its tummy and making waves in the bowl don't work, Giraffe breaks the bad news. A proper burial is held. After Kitty faithfully waters Fish's grave, since he "didn't like dirt, he liked water," a golden flower appears. Van Lindenhuizen's winning critters on spare backgrounds pose with gentle friendliness.” – School Library Journal
