Overcome with Fears or Just Cautious?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Gloria wants to go for a walk in the garden, Frieda is afraid but goes with her. Gloria thinks she's always safe, Frieda sees danger all around. But then is there something to fear at times? A very sweet, relevant book about being afraid to the point where you can't do anything or being so fearless you can put yourself into danger. The middle path is always the way!
More than the sum of its parts -- an elegant gem

This beautiful book works on several different levels -- it's a story about facing and conquering your fears. It's a story about friendship. And it also has incredibly clever illustrations -- trompe l'oeil style landscapes which kids will love poring over. A terrific picture book, one that warrants repeat readings.
Absolutely!

"Absolutely Not" is a cleverly written and planned, beautifully illustrated book. The story involves two bugs, Gloria and Frieda, who decide to go for a walk. On their way, Frieda seems to see all sorts of dangers around, but her friend Gloria is there to clear up her misconceptions.So why do I think this simple idea is so clever?The author/illustrator has created beautiful illustrations that include, if you search, illusions. When I read the book to my daughter, she sees the obvious illustration, but she has to hunt for whatever it is that Frieda sees.When my little girl first found the secret pictures, she felt triumphant! I look forward to the day that her little brother is old enough for her to read the book to him and help him discover all the secrets.A wonderful book that is genuinely involving. Recommended? Absolutely!
