"[An] often-entertaining look at fears and phobias.” --School Library Journal “Reluctant readers, especially, will find Murphy's chatty, lighthearted approach appealing, enjoyable and informative.” --Kirkus Reviews “…overall this book gives practical information about real concerns. If readers pants arent scared off, they may laugh them off instead.” --Booklist “Phobiaphilia may not be a condition recognized by the APA, but every librarian can diagnose a patron who loves to be scared. Heres the treatment.” --BCCB
