Join Ruby on her way to school and see the world her mom cannot see. In an old house, she spies bats with red eyes peering out and scary witches that flit about. And these aren't the only dangers on her path: tigers, crocodiles and mighty beasts abound! "I must be brave, I must be strong," chants Ruby as she musters the nerve to scare them off; but will it work? REVIEWS: "Latimer's bright, mixed-media cartoon artwork amplifies both the comedy in Ruby's fantasy world and the happy hum of the inviting classroom. A cheerful offering that may help soothe new-school jitters" ? Booklist Ages 3 to 7 years Colour illustrations
