Questions before a new beginning

Jonathan James faces a familiar obstacle to trying something new: a stream of “what if” worries about fear, difficulty, and other people’s reactions. The story turns on a shift in the questions he asks, making uncertainty itself part of the book’s exploration of self-doubt and new experiences. Its rhyming format gives that idea a clear, child-focused frame.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 encountering new experiences
  • Families looking for a rhyming story about worry and self-doubt

Book overview

Jonathan James' Whatif Monster asks all kind of questions to stop him trying new things: What if it's scary? What if they laugh? What if it's hard? Until finally, Jonathan James has some questions of his own: What if they don't? What if it isn't? What then? This child-friendly rhyming tale provides the ideal antidote for every child's occasional bouts of self-doubt and fear of trying something new.
