Kookaburra Tales #5

Creatures of imagination, like the boogeyman, are created by adults as a simple, light-hearted means to discipline children. Unfortunately, these never-before-seen creatures curb children’s courage too! As fear of the unknown engulfs their little hearts, their susceptible, vulnerable minds clog up, shutting out the ability to distinguish between fantasy and reality. When Sally, the Baby Sunfish, discovers a monster lurking in the shadows of the night, she hurries to seek comfort in her mother who, having had a long and tiring day, waves her off lightly. Alone and afraid, Sally cringes and weeps. Her little trembles awaken her grandfather. Acknowledging that her fear is real, Grandpa seeks to find out what this scary shadow truly is. Join Kookaburra in an enchanting, imaginative world as he watches the wise old fish, who had himself been frightened of the dark when he was young, help Sally overcome her fear.
