There was once a monster of fear named Jamie, who was very afraid of spiders, cockroaches and bees. Walking in the flower garden he saw a bee taking pollen from a tulip, a spider resting on a leaf and several beetles climbing a tree.

Tecuci, Romania

Jamie started shaking with fear, his face turned red, he felt his heart beating very fast, he started screaming and ran to his mother's house. 

Mom calmed him down, then brought 3 large and very beautifully colored books from the library, one about bees, one about cockroaches and one about bees. Jamie was also afraid of the insects in the books, but he decided to start reading them.

 From the book about bees, he found out how important bees are for life on earth, if there were no bees, there would be no plants either. 

Impressed by what he found out, he opens the book about spiders, where he learns how important they are because they hunt indoor insects , mosquitoes and flies. Knowing this information, the fear of spiders seems to have disappeared. 

He took and read the book about cockroaches, where he learned that some of them are harmful to some plants and also food for birds, but they are not dangerous for humans.

 Jamie is happy now that being well informed about bees, spiders and cockroaches the fear is gone. The monster of fear turned into the monster of courage, well done Jamie!

It was evening. . . The little black monster was very sleepy. . . He drank his milk, kissed his mom and went to bed. He fell asleep immediately. . . .

But after a while he had a bad dream, a nightmare! The little black monster woke up scared! She started crying and shouting. 

His mom heard it and came running. . . . She hugged him and said, "Don't be afraid! Bad dreams are not real! Dreams are only in our imagination. . . And I am here, next to you. . . " . 

The little monster calmed down and fell asleep again. 

The next day at school the teacher talked about the Indians and he learned about dreamcatchers. 

Without wasting a minute, the little black monster took paper and threads and made its own dreamcatcher. And since then he is no longer afraid of bad dreams. . . 

FEAR OF THUNDER 

Klaipėdos l-d "Eglutė"

The happy little monster loved being at home on cold evenings. He would drink hot chokolade, light many colored  lights and dream.

Howewer, when a storm raged and thunder rumbled outside the window, he was very afraid. he was frightened by the sound of thunder and falshing lightning.

Then  the little monster would hide under the blanket or crawl under the bed and cover his ears.

Once, while walking in the forest, he meet a green monster. They became good friends and often played together.

One fall evening, while they were palying at home, a violent storm began. The yellow monster ran to hide.

The green monster was not afraid of thunder at all, he liked to watch lightning flashes in the sky.

Green monster said: 

Lets pitch a tent where it will be safe. You can put on your headphones and listen to your favorite music.

The little monsters did just that. They set up a tent of blankets, the yellow monster put on headphones and they watched the lightning through the window for a long time.

Since then, the yellow monster was not longer afraid of thunder, because it is always  braver with a good friend.

The fear

29th Kindergarten of Serres

Once upon a time there was the black monster. He was a tall and fat little monster, but when he was scared he would curl up and become small. He was afraid of darkness and ghosts. 

One day, while picking berries in the forest, he got lost. A wolf approached him and told him it was time to go home because it would be dark soon. But the little monster didn't listen to the wolf's advice and continued his walk in the forest.

Suddenly, in the quiet of the forest, there was a strange noise. He thought it was a ghost. He started running and the sound followed him. Since it was getting dark the monster didn't notice and entered a dark cave. He began to tremble with fear and was about to start crying. 

At that moment the wolf appeared in front of him, comforted him and they returned home together. On the way, the wolf explained to the monster that there were no ghosts and the sound he heard was a squirrel looking for food in the forest. Once home, the monster told mom and dad about his adventure; mom advised him the next time he went into the woods to take a flashlight with him. And they lived happily ever after.

In a cozy little monster 

house lived Sammy, 

a cute grey monster 

who loved playing in 

his room with his toys.

One sunny day, as he was building a tower of blocks, the ground started to shake. Sammy's eyes widened with fear, and his tower collapsed with a clatter.

He found a safe spot under the table and started calling out for his mother, who rushed into the room worried for her boy.

Mommy!

Mommy!

It's okay, Sammy," she said, wrapping her arms around him tightly. "It's just an earthquake. The earth needs a dance sometimes too! I am very proud of you, you were so brave and did everything right to protect yourself!"

 The big bad wolf

In the heart of a cozy forest, there lived a little Fear Monster named Fuzzy. Fuzzy was scared of many things, but most of all, he feared the big, howling wolves that roamed the woods. .

One day, a wise owl named Ollie visited Fuzzy. "Fear is like a cloud hiding the sun," said Ollie. "Face your fears with bravery, and you'll see they're not so scary."
