Frederick McSnoogle and the Monster Named Dread

Frederick McSnoogle is haunted by a strange monster that lives in his pocket, plays in his mind, and fills him with worry and dread. He tells his mother he can't go to his first year in school. As Frederick wrestles with his monster, he learns to overcome his fears as he faces new challenges with prayer and Bible verses he's learned at home or in Sunday school. This book is not just for children; as parents, we too need to rely on the precious and powerful promises in God's word for our daily lives.

""This is a wonderful story helping children discover the importance of knowing God's Word, developing a relationship with Him through prayer, and trusting God above all when we are afraid. Children will enjoy the rhyming storyline and parents will appreciate a helpful tool to direct their children back to God's Word and the power of His love over our fears.""
--Kristine Jung, Children's Ministry Director

""Mrs. Proctor has created a children's book that is good for all ages! Even as an adult, I am Frederick! Fear has no age limit, yet the use of Bible verses calms the reader as with Frederick. I can see using this book in my seventh grade classroom to help students understand the concept of theme as well as giving them a subject to which they can readily relate.""
--Susan Sieg, Middle School Language Arts Teacher, Seattle Christian School

Annette Proctor has a bachelor's degree in art, and taught the subject to children from kindergarten through twelfth grade at three different Christian schools in two states for twenty-three years. She also has four children of her own. Frederick McSnoogle came as a result of the many years with students and parents dealing with all the challenges school can present and how marvelously our Lord God can provide wonderful answers, peace, and confidence to both children and parents.
