Robin was a typical five-year-old boy, enjoying going to kindergarten and playing soccer with his friends. And like many other kids his age, he was afraid of the dark, ending up in his parents' bed at night. Knowing that she had to help her son conquer his fear of the dark, Robin's mom read him a book about the sunbeams that woke up the earth's creatures every morning. This led to a dream for Robin about traveling to Africa to wake up the animals. In helping a baby elephant to lose its fear of the dark, Robin "saw the light" and lost his own fear of the dark.Fear of darkness and the creepy crawlers and things that go bump in the night are very common in kids Robin's age. The story may help younger children to get over their fear of the dark and sleep more soundly at night, especially when a trusted parent reads the story. It's an issue that many parents have to deal with at some time in their child's life, so the younger the better.Note: See if your child can find the 16 little elephants hidden in the story pages.
