Children's ✦ Penny’s Take

The Nightmare Nature Tour

John Wood · 2020
71/100
👍 Worth It

Turning childhood fears into a science lesson is a smart idea, and the Museum of Phobias series executes it well — demystifying rather than amplifying anxiety. The photo-and-sidebar format works for curious browsers, and the content is genuinely educational for its age group. The reference-style structure means thin depth per topic, but that suits the browsing habits of its audience.
