Oh, Susannah: Things
That Go Bump by Carole P. Roman is the second book about a young girl named
Susannah who is learning about life and herself. In this book, Susannah is
reluctant to go to a sleepover at her friend’s Lola’s house because the house
is old and scary. But she’s afraid to tell her parents and Lola why she doesn’t
want to go so she goes anyway. While there, she and Lola start to have fun
while Susannah tries to push aside her fears. Until something happens that she
can’t hide her fear anymore. She learns that everyone has fears and just
because something is old and scary looking doesn’t mean that it is.
I enjoyed this book as it is a lesson for children with
fears. Like my 5 year old is afraid to be alone in the dark and I’ve been
trying to help her overcome this fear. I will be reading this book to her in
the hopes that she can relate to Susannah and understand there is nothing to
fear. I enjoyed Ms. Roman’s illustrations that everyone has a fear of something
and not let fear keep them from enjoying life and having fun. I highly
recommend Oh, Susannah: Things That Go
Bump for any family or school library.
