After all, the enormous creatures could swallow her (and maybe her entire class) in one giant gulp  Kiki's pals Shelly and Echo try to help shrink her fears, and when a new friend comes along--a very big, whale-size friend--Kiki's courage emerges, and the fun looms large.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDebbie Dadey is an award-winning children's book author who has written more than 150 books.
