Maybe Monsters

An anxious rabbit imagines all kinds of scary maybes outside his front door ... until he discovers an unexpected world of wonders. Simon is comfortable in his quiet house, surrounded by familiar sounds, smells, and sights. Outside is another story. Outside, he imagines all the awful maybes that could be lurking in the unknown: Bullies! Rattlesnakes! Martians! But when Simon is forced to venture from his home, he sees that not everything is quite what he expected. If the worst thing ever is out there waiting for him, maybe the best thing ever is, too? In this richly illustrated story about expectations and embracing new experiences, Jaime Zollars offers young readers a way to explore feelings of uncertainty-and reminds them that what if? is a question with many happy answers.
