As a mother with a 4 year old who often wakes scared at night from sudden noises he hears, this would be a great book for those young ones with nighttime fears. I like how it really emphasizes her anxiety and stress as the day comes to an end and she prepares for night. Then it goes through the steps of her being scared to braving her woes and turning on the light & looking out the window at the noises. Once she discovers all is well and there is nothing to be afraid of she can sleep peacefully.  I think young ones would really relate to this story and It would be an easy way for parents to discuss the nighttime scaries. The artwork was great and the sentences and rhyming were nice and short and easy for small listeners to comprehend.

Cute enough book on what to do when you are scared of the dark.

And the things she did, such as singing loudly, would probably have disturbed the rest of the household, but that is another thing entirely. 

But the thing that bothered me about this story, is if she has been having this problem for a long time, why she never bothered to look outside before this one evening? Was this poor child scared every night for months and months?  And how did she see what was going on outside? Was this the first full moon?

But other than that, good advice, although singing in the middle of the night might drive everyone crazy.
