Great book on a serious subject, but in an easy for children to understand format. While reading this book, my son and I discussed his worry, which was serious, but because of the book was discussed and his pain was eased. I love children's books that are not only fun for the children to read, but touch real life emotions or problems children's face and helps them find ways to fix them. This book is one of those and will be pulled out when either of my sons have a worry, showing them worrying is not a fun way to do things and cannot change anything. Great book to help children facing something!

An interesting book using humor to help kids problem solve through their worries.

I loved this. Anxiety based mental health issues are extremely prevalent today - and children are no exception. I understand that as they learn and grow, anxiety is common when aspects of their lives and routines change. This charmingly written book explores what constitutes a worry, and how one might live with one.

I also think this novel is an exercise in compassion and sympathy for an adult reader. The worries explained in the tale are fantastical; having only one tea bag but a herd of 30 elephants for example. However, the symptoms are realistic and worthy of sympathy. I think an adult reader might look at a temper tantrum slightly differently after reading this with a young one.

The only negative aspect of this read for me, was the overabundance of solutions provided. There were dozens of suggested solutions to stop a worry from worrying you. In one way, this reflects that everyone must address a worry differently. However, I suspect is more likely to be overwhelming for a young reader.

Ultimately, this was an incredibly clever look at anxiety geared towards young reader and I applaud the intent. I will likely purchase this for the young readers in my life.

Is A Worry Worrying You? is a perfect book for children who often, or even sometimes, feel anxious, usually regarding irrational fears. I really like how the author uses a monster as a symbol for an intrusive worry as well as the animal characters, who are appealing to children.
As an adult who experienced severe anxiety as a child, this story would have been an excellent resource for me. I had irrational fears and didn't understand I could release my worries through use of the suggestions featured in the book.
My favorite aspect of Is A Worry Worrying You? is the author's inclusion of strategies aimed at anxious children to combat their fears. As a social worker, this book is definitely a resource I will use in my practice!

Wonderful book that I will use in my classroom to encourage conversation. Is a Worry Worrying You is well written and an important contribution to children's literature
