I really liked that the book started out with a great explanation of what a "worry" is. It then gives good examples of a worry, and how it was easily solved. (Thirsty elephants but no tea bags for tea? Make lemonade instead!) The book describes what worry can do to you (make you tired, sad or sick), and that anyone can have it! It is as big or small as you let it be. The book concludes with more mechanisms to deal with worry.

Overall, I think this is a great book for kids. It lets them know they aren't the only ones who worry, that it usually is never as bad as they think, and that there are solutions.

Everyone worries, but it is important to know how to conquer that worry. Using funny examples and pictures, "Is Worry Worrying You" gives children a way to step back from what they are worrying about and exam it. This book is an important way for students to understand their feelings, never mocks them, but teaches them tools to combat the worry.

A whimsical picture book that will enable children not to worry about worrying. And to discover ways of moving their worries.

I especially liked the illustrations...the main character was portrayed differently. This could help readers identify with at least one of the images. Although every race was not included.

All in all, this book has the potential to empower as well as entertain the reader.

There aren't many books out there geared towards children and their worries in a kid centred way. I liked that the author chose worries that seemed over the top as well as worries children deal with in their everyday life. The illustrations were great and the author had a simple way of explaining what a worry was and how you can deal with them.
A great read a loud for educators as well as parents to help children deal with their worries.
This would be an idea book for myself and other Educational Assistants to have in our libraries!

Thank you to Net Galley and Tanglewood for the advanced copy!

Such a cute book! I love that this acknowledges that children often have worries and anxiety. It offers examples that children can relate to with realistic solutions, helping children realize they can be in control of their emotions. It also can help children realize that what they are feeling is normal. A very useful book for parents and teachers to share with young children.

Pros: the illustrations are nicely detailed and encourage visual exploring, reminiscent of the Black Lagoon series
Tackling a subject matter every child feels with solid solutions.

Con: the first page rhymes and I kept expecting rhyming with each turn of the page, didn’t flow well.

Cute, imaginative, fun, just a bit on the spooky side. My sons both greatly enjoyed this book, and the various "worries" contained with in, most of which are just silly enough to incite several giggles and ease any misapprehension while providing thoughtful imput on easing the troubled minds of children who are worriers. The illustrations are fun and the story is very easy to follow. The worry creatures might be just a bit scary if your child is easily prone to nightmares, but most of the silly situations and unlikely scenarios ease any tension this might cause. Overall, I loved it.

A cute children's book about worrying. It helps children look at the worry as being something separate from us, something we can treat as a separate entity and ignore, or at least think differently about. A great book for kids who tend to over-think and yes, worry about so many things. Great illustrations!

Wonderful book for students of all ages to read. Teaches children that it’s okay to have some anxiety and positive ways to deal with it. Definitely plan to share this book with my students at the beginning of the school year.

A very helpful tale about worry and how to cope with its insidious nature. Dark scary illustrations mirror the way anxiety can cause children angst. 5/5

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC, in exchange for my true opinions.

Great way to open up a discussion with a child who appears to worry a lot. Very vivid artwork that seems a bit scarier than the actual worry being described but overall it's a great topic.

Great premise, but I don’t entirely agree with worries being viewed as bad or monsters. At times, worries and anxiety can be healthy and beneficial for growth, resilience, and performance. I wish the scenarios were more applicable and the illustrations supported a sensitive topic like this. However, I enjoyed the message that children have control and power over their worries when they may become too great.

I read this book with my children but they dd not seem to care for it very much. Nor did I. While the message behind it was good, so I really, really wanted to like it, the pictures were a little dark and my kids found them to be a little odd. The story is supposed to be silly and goofy so I suppose it fit. It just wasn't really for us I guess!

I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book gives great tips on how to ground yourself whenever you get anxious. Awesome for kids with anxiety, but even a silly and helpful reminder to adults.

Great for kids, but as an adult who worries a lot, I must confess this book helped me as well. Problem solving instead of worrying is very important!

3 things about this book

Love it, has the feel of graphic novel artwork, I love the humor and message, very real for kids. This reminds me of Julia cook,s Wilma jean and the worrymachine.

I really enjoyed it. Everyone worries sometimes and this book really great describes worry to little children. I like the illustrations but i can understand that some children can scared little bit.

Is A Worry Worrying You? Is a wonderful children’s book that describes and illustrates the concepts of worry and feeling anxious about something through silly scenarios that children can understand. It also normalizes this feeling and informs children that they have control over their worries if they practice. This book would be great for a variety of ages, and could be used by both parents and professionals who are helping children who worry. The illustrations are engaging and fun.

I am an elementary school art teacher and I read to my students all the time. The pictures in this book are awesome! They are so colorful and fun. This is a great book for children that worry and have anxiety. That is a hard thing for even adults to deal with. This book helps explain that emotion to children in a way they can understand. It also suggests things they can do when they are worried to help cope. I deal with anxiety and worry constantly and found this book quite wonderful.
