DIFFERENT DRAGONS Jean Little. Markham, ON: Viking Kestrel, l986. 123pp., cloth, $12.95. ISBN 0-670-808369. Distributed by Penguin Canada. CIP. Subject Headings: Fear-Fiction. Dogs-Fiction. Grades 3-6 / Ages 8-11 Reviewed by Grace E. Funk. Volume 14 Number 6 1986 November In one short, two-day weekend, seven or eight-year-old Ben, visiting without his family for the first time, has to overcome his fear of his aunt, of the dark, of big dogs, of thunderstorms. It seems a heavy load for this slight story without any real plot. Keeping a stiff upper lip in front of a bossy girl neighbor helps. Being in the house where his father grew up helps; Ben learns that his father was once a scared boy, too. Although obviously written for younger children, this book does not really stand beside Stand in the Wind (Harper & Row 1975) or Mine for Keeps (Little, Brown, 1962). Grace E.
