Book Summary

Bub the pug is a 'scaredy-pug' who is afraid of many things, especially the dark and strange noises. When his human, Bella, takes him camping, Bub's fears are put to the test. He imagines monsters in the shadows and sounds, but Bella helps him understand that most scary things are just natural. When a real 'monster' appears, Bub finds his courage to protect Bella, learning that being brave means doing things even when you're scared.
