Fearfulness

1. The child in this story is very frightened that there is a tiger under the bed. Even before you got to the end of the story, did you think it was very likely that there was a tiger under the bed?

2. If you thought it was not very likely, why do you think the child still believed there might be one there?

3. When Mum pulled out the jacket from under the bed, the child in this story realised that their fears had been unfounded. What do you think this might tell us about many of the things that frighten us?
