Scared Horace.

Holly Keller, Brave Horace (Greenwillow, 1998) Horace gets an invitation to a Halloween party, and starts acting like a brat because he's scared. Of course, once he actually gets there and has a good time, all is right with the world again. An interesting take on this standard kids'-book theme (which is usually explored through, say, a trip to the doctor or the like), with the lovable characters from the Horace series. Definitely a keeper if you're already a Horace fan. ****

Cute book about an important subject

This is a tale about Horace who is feeling scared about being invited to a spooky party. The book introduces the concepts of fear, bravery and friendship in a way that small children can relate to. A good way to help kids overcome a fear of monsters as well as helping them understand that sometimes it is perfectly natural to feel trepidation in new situations.
