When Max the bookmark went into a scary book, he couldn’t LOOK and he SHOOK and he SCREAMED, “GET ME OUT OF THIS BOOK!”

Then he learned to (1) breathe deeply, (2) make a plan, and (3) think positive thoughts–techniques used by the Navy SEALs. Max put his new tools into practice and now he’s brave enough to face a snake, yucky bugs, and even a seven-headed monster!

This humorous story packs a big punch as it introduces children to mindfulness, self-regulation, self-control, and other techniques for dealing with stress and overcoming fear. (From GoodReads.)
