Don't Feed the Worrysaurus, written by L.S. Smith, features out main character June who sometimes lets worries get the better of her. It can be hard for her not to worry, she has worries of different sizes! But one night she meets the Worrysaurus, who grows when she frets, but shrinks when she helps. She is able to think of different calming techniques, and is able to remember how to use them when she needs. This book also includes a great conversation guide that can be used to help children with their own worries. I can see this as being very beneficial for kiddos with worries or anxiety, or helping them to understand others who do have those.
Thank You to NetGalley and to the author, publisher, and illustrator of this book for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

⚡ Chomp chomp—this book totally ate up my heart! Watching June tackle her giant, goofy Worrysaurus with silly dances, deep breaths, and giggles made me want to bust out my own chicken dance right there. The rhymes bounce, the story zips, and kids will totally “get” that they don’t have to let worry boss them around. Parents—seriously, read this with your little ones. It’s fun, it’s fearless, and it turns big scary feelings into belly laughs. 🦖✨

Four Point Four Stars
Beautiful rhythmic story about Worrysaurus, the dinosaur that grew from June’s worry and grew to be very big. How does June handle it? Nice illustrations and a cute guide for older kids about handling worry and anxiety.
Thank you for the ARC Netgalley.
