Thank you NetGalley and Tanglewood for this DRC.

Teaching kids how to overcome worries is a great idea.
The authors introduce some likely and totally unlikely (100 elephants for tea?) reasons to worry and how to overcome those worries in simple steps. I liked how they described some of the physical anxieties you can experience as well.
I did find that from page to page the writing was either great or lackluster. I'm not sure if the authors were switching from page to page or if they just had directional differences, whichever it was this caused a little weirdness in the writing.

The illustrations are really what made this so delightful for me!
Marie Letourneau's style reminded me of something between Maurice Sendak and Tim Burton.
Very very cool stuff!!!

Book about worries, how it makes us feel and tips to overcome them. Wonderful illustrations.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher

My 5 year-old daughter (also new to kindergarten this year) came home from school one day struggling with why another little girl treated her badly at recess, rather than me give her a big, long explanation about human behavior, i read her this book. Immediately after we were done she asked “Mommy does this book mean that I shouldn’t worry because by worrying I’m only hurting myself?” I was so impressed that this was able to convey to her exactly what I wanted to say, but because of the way the book was worded along with the illustrations, it was able to get my point across much easier than I’d be able to. I definitely recommend reading this to children, especially children who are just entering into school or maybe even daycare and have just started socializing and/or dealing with different situations and circumstances.

If there was a point where. whimsical and therapeutic can meet up in one story . The book called,” Is a worry worrying you” is that book. For it being a children’s book , it’s just as insightful as if it was adult.

The writing just compliments the story at whole, Along with its whimsical illustration that just makes it filled with youth. its unique, pure funny, and downright pleasing to read..Especially , with the wonderful tips they give to help you to not worry anymore.

Would I ever read this again. Yes, especially if I’m ever feeling down . This would be such a great way to just laugh and not burden myself with anything at all.

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

This is a children's book about worries. I was initially interested in this title because at first glance the cover reminded me of "Where the Wild Things Are". I loved the dark illustrations because they did relate to how a child might feel about their own worries. I liked that the story gives different strategies on how to deal with worrying. The best part about this book is the illustrations. I think this book would be good for any child. Don't we all worry?

I can see where the author is going although some explanations are hard to understand about worry. I did like that the author provided a solution to the worry. I think a more realistic worry would have helped explain what worry is to kids would have helped but over all a cute book.

This is a very good book for children as they can really relate to the to the common fears that children have today. The illustrations are really cute and funny. Worry is a common thing for children today and the book address them with solutions on how to ease some of that worry. I especially liked the bald eagle in your hair example. It also gives tips at the end on where to put your worry and what to do so it is not so scary. I recommend this book for children 4+.
I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I really appreciate this book and it message to young readers. I always enjoy books that deal with social emotional growth in a way young children can easily grasp. This book continues that tradition by adding in problem solving. Kids will enjoy the silly worries and drawings.
I would recommend this book for classroom or home reading as it deals with simple childhood worries (not anxiety) in a way that is funny and simple.

#Is A Worry Worrying You? #NetGalley Written by Ferida Wolff and Harriet May Savitz. As an educator I would recommend this book to be read to a classroom of children where it could then be discussed. Also, I would suggest parents include this book in their readings to their kindergarten students. It would be a wonderful way to bring the word "worry" into a child's vocabulary so they are used to it when explaining their feelings. "Worry" should be as familiar to children as it is to adults! We all worry, why not be able to talk about it?

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.
