Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Scared Puppy
Dr. Naira Wilson · 2022
76/100
👍 Worth It
Dr. Naira Wilson's NHS background gives this little board book real grounding — it isn't just cute, it's clinically thoughtful about how young children process fear. The touch-and-feel format and mirror feature are genuinely well-matched to the 0–4 age group, and parents and educators have responded warmly. A modest format with an outsized purpose.
