Nicholas is afraid of a lot of things. He wants to be as brave as his dad, but he needs help. With his toy dinosaur, Nicholas can scale tall walls, swim in deep water and even score a goal against the huge goalie everyone calls Gorilla. However, when the toy dinosaur goes missing, everything is scary again.
Luckily, his dad knows that even the bravest people can get scared, and asking for help to face your fears can make these less scary.
What I didn’t like is how the ending alludes to being brave as “guy stuff”. Still, as storytellers, we have absolute control over how we choose to tell a story, so make your own ending, such as weaving your child’s name or favourite toy to draw strength from!
