Kate is the kind of character young readers immediately recognize because she's scared of the same things they are a grumpy dog, a spooky elevator, and three-eyed, six-legged monsters conjured up by her own imagination. The story keeps things light and funny instead of actually scary, and kids will love watching Kate find the courage to face what freaks her out. With just 196 words and a 2.0 reading level, this is a quick, confidence-building read that even reluctant readers can finish in one sitting.
