What Was I Scared Of?

Dr Seuss

Turn out the lights and say hello to Dr. Seuss’s spookiest character… the pair of empty trousers, with nobody inside them!

Then I was deep within the woods
When, suddenly, I spied them.
I saw a pair of pale green pants
With nobody inside them!

First published as part of The Sneetches and Other Stories, this all-time favourite Dr. Seuss story is the perfect present for children aged 3+ with its timeless message about fear and tolerance.
