Snake!, Hardcover/Carrie Hyatt

Get ready to shout, " Snake! " and do what Camilla the snake does when she is afraid. Kids will wiggle, hide, and shiver while exploring the fear of the unknown. A little boy scout guides readers through the actions in this wildly fun and silly story. Discover how Camilla becomes trapped in the fear of the unknown and what truth she learns that sets her free. Shout and have the satisfaction of letting fear out when you read, Snake! Then read Spider!, and continue to learn about fear by exploring how a boy becomes frozen in fear and speechless at the sight of a spider. Bee! is a cheerful and uplifting story that sends readers a powerful message on how to overcome fear. My goal with the Shout Fear Out! Series is to free kids from the debilitating effects of fear by using creatures that commonly invoke fear to create teachable moments. The story, Snake! has the added bonus for kids to be in motion. This is the perfect book for a classroom setting. Teachers can have students take turns wearing a safari hat and being the scout who leads the class doing what Camilla the snake does each time she is afraid. The interactive style of each of the stories is designed as a listening exercise to help kids listen and anticipate what is coming next. My hope is that kids and readers will enjoy predicting when they can shout, and have the satisfaction of letting it out.
