Sheila Rae, the Brave

This book is very cute and teaches about working together and looking up to your siblings. I would read this to a younger crowd of children. I really liked it and it is a very good book that teaches a very good lesson that you cannot always be the brave one.

A great book about bravery and fears and getting help. I love Mr. Henkes' illustrations.

This book is a good book to read when teaching children about the benefits of not being overly confident.

Again, this Henkes book is great for children to read and to be read aloud in class! I think every child can relate to louise and being scared and this book could possibly help them to get over some of their fears. I would recommend this book to all ages and I still really enjoy reading it.

Another of Kevin Henkes' marvelous "Mouse Tales," Sheila Rae, the Brave is an engaging tale of a young mouse who learns that everyone feels fear, at one point or another, and that sometimes, those who seem like "scaredy-cats" on the outside, can draw upon hidden stores of courage. As always, I enjoyed Henkes' spot-on depiction of the childhood experience - as one of three sisters myself, I particularly appreciated that this charming tale concerned two sisters - and found his illustrations adorable. Definitely one I would recommend, especially to young children who are very timid themselves, or who scorn the timid.
