Review: DEALING WITH DEMONS
Rating: 5 out of 5

The author begins by telling the reader that he has developed a new process to empower children to face their faces. Nicknamed "Draw Me A Monster", he provides the website for parents who are interested in investigating the technique. The bright illustrations are large and colorful. The young female protagonist wears a cape reminiscent of Superman or Supergirl. She encounters several different monsters and delineates the method for getting rid of them, whether it be light, laughter, jumping on the bed or playing loud music. As long as you are brave and have no fear, you will be victorious. Most young children have a fear of the unknown. I like this superhero approach and the fact that the protagonist is a brave female superhero. This book and the author's program should be effective with preschoolers and children in the early elementary grades. Highly recommended.
