Wow! Lessons for overcoming fear when you feel 'booked' in! Love the art!

I think I can honestly say that I've never come across a book with this premise before. Max is a bookmark who's afraid of the pictures in books! So he goes to school to overcome his fears and get his Special Bookmark Badge.
Max uses (of all things) Navy SEAL techniques for dealing with his issues. The book works as a story about overcoming your fears, but it also functions as a basic instruction manual for the techniques (breathe deeply, make a plan, and think positive thoughts) so that kids can ...more

Max is a bookmark who is more than terrified of scary images he gets trapped with inside of books. He attends Bookmark School where he learns the rules and tools to help him handle his fears. He discovers that breathing deeply and using good thoughts can get him out of just about any bind. That said, this book might be a nice way to begin a discussion on facing fears or even on childhood anxiety. Oh, and watch out for the cute little twist at the end of the story. The artwork in this book was cr

A great way to give kids strategies to cope with scary times. I took notes myself!
Lexi really enjoyed this story and so did I!
This book introduces great coping strategies, we can all use, when we encounter something scary or creepy or haunted!
1. Breathe Deeply. 2. Make a Plan. 3. Think Good Thoughts.
Thanks to Jon(athan) for recommending the book!
I would have given the book five stars but I did not care for the artwork.
But that is just my opinion!
And now, I am out of here and on to read my next book!

More than an adorable story about books (which is plenty to love already), Get Me Out of This Book uses its narrative to teach kids common mindfulness techniques for dealing with fear and anxiety. Max the bookmark is afraid of many of the books he is put in, but learns how to address those feelings so he can overcome his fears. A fun and creative approach to talking about emotions.
Although there are probably plenty of reluctant or disengaged readers who wish they could get out of a book rather than having to trudge through the book's text, this picture book deals with a bookmark named Max who feels anxious around books. The mixed media illustrations will capture the attention of young readers who will be amused by Max's fears about the pictures in books. So traumatized was he by some of his early experiences that he had to go through de-sensitivity training. One by one, h

A cute picture about a bookmark who gets scared of the pictures in his books. This is a great storytime book because it teaches children three rules and tools to use when you're scared and let's children practice them while reading/hearing the story.

This is a cute story about a bookmark that learned how to overcome their fear. I would recommend this to students in Kindergarten and First Grade. It may even be good to read around Halloween since the story has monsters in it!
I really didn't love this

Can be used to teach kids about how to handle fear.
The book, although mildly humorous, is about using certain tools to help when one is feeling afraid.
Provided a simplified version of some Navy SEAL thought processes. I was surprised they were actual rules of the SEALS.
3.5 stars How to deal with being frightened.
Promising premise, overly didactic execution.
Fearful bookmark shares tips and trips for overcoming fears. (Brave) bookmark included.
Cockroaches and punching. I'm out.

Good for a read-a-loud for 1st graders. Even upper elementary. Introduces different genres of books.
Not as good as I was hoping.
I liked the tips and techniques, but the story was just okay.
Great "rules and tools" to overcome scary situations.
