A big thank you to NetGalley and Tanglewood Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. First time reading this author. I date this a 4.5. I found it to be thoughtful, and thought invoking. A great book to start discussions about problems, worries. It was still fun, cute and had great drawings. I would recommend to early children and learning to read children.

This is a well written and cute story that presents a helpful message with great style.

I read this with my 3 year old. The illustrations are BEAUTIFUL. For his age, some of the worries are a bit wordy, but overall we loved it and it led to a great discussion about what we worry about. Very cute book!

Wonderful, wonderful book! First, I love the pictures; they have crooked lines and uneven colors so they kind of give an idea of how people feel when they have a worry. I also like that the author gives examples of what a worry might look like and then offers ideas on how to deal with these worries. Great book to read with your kids at bedtime or at school during story time. This is a topic that adults may find difficult to explain to children, but with the help of this book, it should make the experience a lot easier and fanner for parents, teachers, and children. I received a free copy via NetGalley.

This is a good book to cheer up an anxious child, worried about real things like something at school, with her friends, in her family or some imaginary danger.

The worry/anxiety is personified by a stubborn monster who insists on being on every page. 

The authors teach readers how to overcome worries giving solutions to silly situations/worries. Through humor children learn how to deal with their worries, real or imaginary. (But we have to be careful so that the child doesn’t think we are making fun of her worries).

Illustrations are dark and a bit spooky without losing their humorous feature. They make perfect sense and complement perfectly the text. I like that the text starts with a simple definition of worry, easy for the child to understand.

Never underestimate children’s anxieties as unimportant or simple nonsense. Grab this book, read it with them and talk about what a worry is and how to deal with it. To talk about it is the most important thing. Don’t let them alone with their fears. Help them solve them. Start with this book.

Adult worriers can also gain from reading it: an inevitable smile and some simple truth can´t harm anyone.

This looked like a great book to read with my little guy and I have to say that he loved every bit of it! The 'worry' scenarios given in this book are such fun! My son giggled through this book and he also could relate to some of the worries. It's a cute book that tickled the sides of an imaginative little reader...and gave the mom a sense of satisfaction for picking another awesome book! To the author, I'd say "great job and keep writing."
I would recommend this book to all parents, to help understand the little and big worries of children; and also help them to know that worrying about things are normal, no matter how small that worry is.

A lovely picture book with some humorous ways to explore worrying and anxiety with children. A good way to create an opportunity to talk about any issues.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. The illustrations throughout this book work great. It wasn't overwhelmed with color and the color scheme was simplistic, in my opinion. Now, one might ask why that would matter. Some children (young adults depending on the mental capacity) may get overwhelmed if there is too many colors. Since this book is designed to help the child understand that they can be in control of what they feel (to a degree), keeping things simple helps them to get the idea and not lost in the details. I read this to my 5 year old son (soon to be 6). He really enjoyed the "worry monsters" and the fact that you could tell them to go away and they have to listen. As having experienced a traumatic situation recently, worrying about things that he shouldn't are a big issue. This book came at the perfect time for us. It also helped him realize that when he is thinking about things before bed, he has the ability to control what he gets upset about. His favorite part was the skateboarding monkey. He related to the story and, at 5 years old, was able to apply parts of it to himself with a little prompting (ie: what did the kid do in the book that you could do, etc). I think this is a great tool and can be used for worrying and anxiety help in kids. As an adult, I enjoyed reading it to him. The story line and the funny worries provided some much needed laughs.

"What is a worry anyway? A worry is a thought that stops you from having fun, from feeling good, from being happy."

This wonderful book deals with kid's worries and anxieties. The co-authors have successfully personified them and made them visually clear so a child's mind can grasp what one may look like. Even though worries are invisible to the naked eye they seem very real to a child.

Worries can drag you down and make you feel tired, sad, or even make you feel ill. They are not polite and have no manners. They barge into your life and can make you feel paralyzed and threatened. Most of the time the things worried about never materialize but if they do the authors have unveiled strategies as to how to overcome them and get of them out of your life.

How to get rid of a worry:

"You can imagine it away. Put it in a suitcase and send it packing. Seal it in an envelope and mail it away. Stand it in the corner while you have fun. Hide it in a closet and close the door."

In reality you can:

* Face it and see if it makes any sense
* Tell it to go away
* Discuss it with someone else
* Work on the thing that's worrying you
* Think another thought
* Remember a good time you had
* Think about what you are doing and not about what might happen. Replace a worry with a happy thought. Let a worry thought remind you to smile.

The resolve to the worry problem as told by the authors...

"You can get rid of a worry any time you want. It just takes a little patience." "Don't worry. You can do it!"

The book not only defines worry and anxiety but offers help to kids so they can manage those worries. The illustrations are clouded in darkness which represents a shadow or foreboding that envelops the characters who are anxious. The monster-like worries depicted are not scary. The book offers imaginative humorous solutions. It can open up a dialogue so kids can discuss their feelings if feelings of worry plague them. I would recommend this book be in classrooms and school libraries for kids to access if they experience worry and anxiety in their own lives.

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.

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!

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.
