Product Description
From Amazon
Definitely a candidate for the all-time silliest of Dr. Seuss's books, What Was I Scared Of? is the extremely unscary tale of... a pair of empty pants! Just try to keep from giggling when reading this story aloud--we dare you. For starters, practice with "And there I was! / Caught in the Snide! / And in that dreadful place, / those spooky, empty pants and I were standing face to face!" The small size and sturdy cover make this tiny tome just right for tucking away in a bag for traveling or an evening out. Perfect for an overnight camping trip, this book puts fears in their proper perspective, and will have everyone laughing out loud. --Jill Lightner
Book Description
What's a pair of empty green trousers doing standing by itself in the woods? Or riding a bike in Grin-itch? Or fishing on Roover River? The narrator certainly doesn't want to find out but wherever he goes, he's haunted by the spooky empty pants. Finally, when the two find themselves hiding from each other in a Snide bush the terrified narrator realizes, "I was just as strange to him as he was strange to me." This little Seussian gem, plucked from the back of The Sneetches and Other Stories, shines on it own as it delivers a timeless message about fear and tolerance.

Too Cute!,
By Carla Riess (Bay Village, Oh United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What Was I Scared of? (Hardcover)
My mother read this book to me a long time ago when I was a child. The rhymes are contagious and now I enjoy reading it to my 4 year old son. Classical Seuss fun. My only complaint is that this version of the book is only 5 inches in dimension - it would be nice if this book were larger to better enhance the drawings inside.

Scary/Silly,
By A Customer
This review is from: What Was I Scared of? (Hardcover)
This book was always one of my favorites because me and my grandpa would read it together all the time and in the beginning I would always be scared but then at the end I would be laughing so hard!

One of Suess' best!,
By "macmama5" (Ft. Campbell) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What Was I Scared of? (Hardcover)
This is a very funny Suess book that every age will find amusing. It also teaches a good lesson: You may be afraid of something or someone because it's different, but it feels the same way about you because it sees you as different! One of my favorite Dr. Suess books!
