3.0 out of 5 stars A fantasy story for a young child with fear of leaving home., August 20, 2001

By	Carol Watkins "Psychiatrist" (Baltimore, MD United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This illustrated book uses the metaphor of a prince on a quest in a large forest. The young prince achieves a sense of mastery and discovers that the forest is not really as threatening as he had expected.

This would be a good bedtime story for a preschool child who is having some concerns about going to daycare, or starting any new activity. It does not directly address the reader about separation anxiety. For some children, the use of this type of indirect metaphorical approach works well. It is nice if the child can draw conclusions himself. However many children may also need the parents to talk about separation issues directly.
