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 buts, and even a seven-headed monster!

Every book comes with is very own Max, the bookmark!

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.

Industry Reviews

"Books that help children deal with fear are always helpful when done right and this one is." --School Library Journal

"Repetitive and at times rhyming, the text builds a rhythm that lends itself to read-alouds, especially for educators with students who seem to have difficulty regulating fear-related emotions. . . . An ambitious blending of emotional and psychological tools with fantasy that will serve the right reader well."--Kirkus Reviews

"Traumatized by frightening illustrations ('I couldn't LOOK and I SHOOK and I SCREAMED'), a timorous bookmark takes a course in how to cope with fear. . . . Infante effectively employs spiky shapes and garish colors to evoke the bookmark's initial terror during its training. A serviceable addition to the shelf of advice about dealing with fears, boosted by a clever premise."--Booklist
