I  recieved a free digital copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

This is a cute little story that showcases different kinds of worries that kids can face, and how they can overcome them. The illustrations are adorable. Even the situations that would cause worry are great! 😄 A hundred elephants are coming to tea and you don't have any teabags?

This book offers great tips for students in dealing with worried feelings. The illustrations are great but are more appropriate for older elementary students. I will recommend this book to other teachers and counselors.

What an eye opening little book.Through a dozen pages Is a Worry worrying you ? teachs us great lessons about dealing with our own worries a insecureties.
I loved it so much and the illustration ,they were simply Everything,everything

This a great book to gift to adults kids who worry a lot.
It explains what is a worry, how it can bother anyone
, anytime and anywhere. And how it can affect one in a
negative way.Worry is like an ugly monster who will scare you if you allow him to.

The book states that what adults think as nothing could
be the biggest worry for kids.
And the book provides simple, effective and fun
solutions for every worry possible.

Worries steal one's happiness and makes one weak.
Worry gets it power through us, its nothing if we pay no attention to it.

Excellent illustration and content. This book is a selection for children from 8-11 years old. A way to teach them about their self her and anxiety

Children worry and they worry a lot. An excellent children's book that breaks down what a worry is in a way that is not troublesome to young minds. I read this book with my 3. 8 year old would recommend it to every parent with a child who may be discovery mode.

Is A Worry Worrying You is a wonderful children's book, which offers a fun and helpful approach to managing daily worries. Some of the worries are silly, some are more serious; but all are given positive solutions to solve them. The illustrations in the book are fantastic and really fit with the narrative. The way the pages are arranged, introducing a worry on one page/offering the solution on another, would allow for key discussion between child and parent on different ways to address the presented worry. Also offered at the end of the book are more global ways to address worries like writing a story or playing with a friend. This is a treasure of a book, and I plan to pick it up for my own shelf.

I. Love. This. Book.

Seriously, it left me with tears in my eyes. The illustrations are cute, and the message is SO STRONG. By turning a "worry" into this sort of monster-thing, it helps to make it something tangible and real and, thus, something you can DO something about. There are lots of suggestions and solutions for what might worry you, some silly and some serious.

I received this book free from from NetGalley for in exchange for an honest review, and IMMEDIATELY went and ordered a paperback copy to read to my 3 year old (who is a bit of a worry-wart). I also will recommend this to a friend who is a social worker, as I think it will be useful in her line of work as well.

My daughter loved this book! She's an anxious child by nature and this book really broke down the emotion. The illustrations were fitting and it was very enjoyable!

The concept here is a good one, teaching kids to problem solve and work through their worries. The idea is what sold me on this book, but it goes back and forth between silly situations and heavy-handed bluntness, the latter pulling the reader out of the book time and again.

The artwork is different than the usual. A little darker. A little sharper.

The writing is for the most part smooth and easily read, though there was the occasional rhyme that could have probably been taken out.

I think the execution could be better, but I could still see kids enjoying this one, and I could see buying it for a child who worries too much and has a hard time working through their issues on their own.

With two children under the age of five, I know that it's not always easy for little ones to understand the feelings they feel or how they should react or handle situations and emotions that are new or overwhelming to them.. Often, it seems really, really hard for them. Because of this, I absolutely love books that help guide and teach children how to deal with their emotions and understand the things that they are feeling. Worry is not a great thing for anyone whether young, old, male, female, etc. but everyone feels it and it nice to have a visual representation in the form of the illustrations in this story in order to better explain to kids the idea of worry. I also enjoyed the fact that Is A Worry Worrying You? gave multiple different possibilities and examples of worry as no two situations or people are the same. Overall, this was a great book, and I think it's a fun teaching aid to little ones.

This is a nice simple book on worries that may be of help to the garden variety worries most kids encounter. It has simple text without talking down to kids. The drawings are interesting and fit well with the subject. The suggestions are numerous and fine for most children. I would like to think it would even help mine, who has a little more anxiety than normal, but I don't know that this would be the book for him. Fine for general populations though.

5* for illustrations.
1* for the narration. I did not understand the metaphors of elephants who come for tea, bear as teacher, your friend camel who scrapes a knee, gorilla who borrowed your skateboard, singing lullabies to the monster under the bed, a visiting lion uncle, hippo crossing the street, an eagle in hair, etc.

But I did understand when the authors say worry is invisible so put it away or face it, talk to others about it, or work at it, stay in the present, smile.

3 stars.
Its a good idea to be teaching kids about emotions and what they are and this book does just that. Worry. It is something we all feel. Some way too much, but what is it like for a kid to feel it but not know what it is or how to 'fix it'? This book teaches kids what worry is and it helps them to understand it so when they next feel it, they will be able to try and do something about it. I like too that it also tells kids that sometimes you will feel worried, but there is no need to because sometimes, what you are worrying about would never happen. Thought I do understand that trying to tell a kid that and have them believe it, can be a bit tricky. (Same goes for adults too!) To think of worry as a type of unfriendly monster is rather creative.

The illustrations in this book are interesting. They appear to be a bit dark and creepy looking, but thats mostly just at first glance. If you take a longer look at them, they are actually nice little drawings. Not really creepy at all.

This book is great! Illustrations are detailed and high contrast. They surprise and you never can guess what comes next. Some of them are a little bit scary, but it is a way for kids to experience worry and get scared in a safe way. The book gives tips how to manage and get rid of a worry. I highly recommend it for kids 4-10 years old. And don't worry it ends well.

This is a wonderful children's book that deals with worries and anxieties.

It explains in an interesting and visual way what these feelings are and how can people, especially children, can manage them. The illustrations are detailed and wonderful. I recommend it to all parents and teachers interesting in discussing these important matters with children.

Don't let Worry win.
This book, first published in 2005, is an excellent starting point for discussing the issue of worry with young children. Aimed at ages 4 to 6+, many children may have worries that bother them, but that they can't quite identify. As with many childhood skills, the earlier they learn to identify and control worries, the better they are going to be able to cope as they get older.

In the book's illustrations, Worry is represented by a large monster who hovers wherever there is an opportunity for worrying. Some of the scenarios are possible and some are not. For example, one hundred elephants call for tea and you have no tea bags. Don't worry, offer them lemonade instead!

The author provides symptoms of worry to help a child identify that they are actually worried, such as feeling tired, suffering stomachache or nausea.
She helps a child to believe that there may be a solution and not to panic, and advises that a worry will stay as long as you let it.
Most of the time something you worry about never happens, but worries can get even bigger, the more you worry.
Then she suggests how a child can help themselves: think or do something else, put it to the back of your mind or share it with a friend, rationalise it.

While I think this type of book serves a very useful purpose, I'm a bit baffled by the examples of worries that it gives and why it mixes totally impossible scenarios with realistic ones. There's also an example of worrying about the first day at school, and the suggested solution is to take a gift for the teacher, I'm not sure that would still be considered PC.

Most importantly, this is a book to be shared with an adult and discussed, worries brought out into the open and solved. If it helps even just a few children then it will have been well worthwhile.
Highly recommended for parents and primary schools.

Is a Worry Worrying You? is worrying me. I kid you not!

Suppose you had read a brilliant book by Ferida Wolff and Harriet May Savitz and you needed to write a review that shows just how good it is but you don't know if your words can possibly explain your thoughts, when your thoughts about the book are more feelings than words.

Now that's a worry!

But you can get rid of that worry by reading the book three times to yourself and then reading it to someone you know who worries a lot about a lot of things and ask them what they thought as well.

Because if you talk about a worry with someone else it's easier to tell the worry to go away.

Suppose Marie Le Tourneau is an incredibly talented artist but you don't know if you could ever be that talented or creative.

Now that's a worry!

But you can get rid of that worry by admiring her talent and laughing along with the humour in her illustrations. You can also spend time searching out each picture for the worry monster you know will be lurking somewhere on every page.

You can remember that everyone has their own unique talents. Rather than spending time worrying about your weaknesses you can focus on your strengths and spend time doing what you're passionate about.

Is a Worry Worrying You? may be intended for a young audience but adult worriers can also learn valuable tools while reading this book. After defining what a worry is, our authors take us on a guided tour of realistic worries children may have but told in a wild and wacky way. Like what to do if a gorilla borrows your skateboard but doesn't return it to you when they say they will.

The reader is empowered with practical tools for managing and banishing worries along with some much needed perspective for worrywarts, reminding us that most of what we worry about doesn't happen anyway.

I don't know what I was so worried about. That wasn't so hard after all. I guess I was right. This book <b>is</b> helpful for adults as well as children.

I think I need to reread this every time I have a worry to practice what I've learned until the worry monster doesn't bring luggage each time he knocks on my door because he knows he won't be invited to stay anymore.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley (thank you so much to NetGalley and Tanglewood Publishing for the opportunity) in exchange for honest feedback.

This is such a fun and hilarious book about dealing with anxiety and learning not to worry. I love how the more serious advice is interspersed with funny examples. The advice includes simple things like activities to take your mind off your worries, and encouragement to face your worry and see if it really makes sense.
The silly examples include things like, If you are worried about a hundred elephants coming over for tea, but you don't have any teabags, then offer them lemonade instead!
The cute illustrations make the book so fun to read, and really enhance the advice given.
Above all, this book encourages children to talk about their anxiety with a friend, and share their worries with parents, so that those fears lose their power over you.

i will be getting a copy of this book for the children i work with at school. An invaluable book for explaining worries in a fun but pragmatic way. I read this together with my 6 year old and she loved the animal references and also the illustrations.
