Publisher's Description
Frederick McSnoogle is haunted by a strange monster that lives in his pocket, plays in his mind, and fills him with worry and dread. He tells his mother he can't go to his first year in school. As Frederick wrestles with his monster, he learns to overcome his fears as he faces new challenges with prayer and Bible verses he's learned at home or in Sunday school. This book is not just for children; as parents, we too need to rely on the precious and powerful promises in God's word for our daily lives.
Endorsements (4)
“This is a wonderful story helping children discover the importance of knowing God’s Word, developing a relationship with Him through prayer, and trusting God above all when we are afraid. Children will enjoy the rhyming storyline and parents will appreciate a helpful tool to direct their children back to God’s Word and the power of His love over our fears.”
“Mrs. Proctor has created a children’s book that is good for all ages! Even as an adult, I am Frederick! Fear has no age limit, yet the use of Bible verses calms the reader as with Frederick. I can see using this book in my seventh grade classroom to help students understand the concept of theme as well as giving them a subject to which they can readily relate.”
“Frederick's struggles are true to most children's lives. We all need helpful reminders of how to best respond to our fears and anxieties with Christian confidence, and Frederick's story serves as such a reminder. This is a helpful story that is relatable and enjoyable to read.”
“The story of Frederick addresses a monster that we all face, Dread; using language that can speak to all ages. I especially like how it legitimizes fears we feel in everyday situations and helps guide children to address those fears with biblical tools.”
