Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A delightfully fun and rhythmic story about overcoming our fears and learning to try something new.
Ditter Von Dapp is a quirky rabbit who is painfully afraid of the light. Having confined himself to a cozily dark cave to avoid his biggest fear, he is one day forced to light a candle in order to find a lost left shoe. Despite being afraid that the light "might drive me crazy or turn me to goo," Von Dapp slowly discovers just how wonderful light can be. In his newly illuminated world, he finds that a wise mouse had stolen his shoe to teach him a valuable lesson.
With playful rhymes and incredibly rich illustrations, children and parents will delight in reading Ditter Von Dapp's journey. His realization that the light isn't something to be afraid of will help children learn to face their own fears--they just might open themselves up to a new world they never would have imagined and find a new friend in the process!
In order to find his missing shoe, Ditter Von Dapp must first confront his fear of the light and illuminate in his dark cave dwelling.
Ages 4-8. Bala Kids.
