This is such a lovely book! We read this afew years ago when my son started school and it really helped him to open up and speak to me about what his worries were. This year my daughter starts school so I've read this and she has really enjoyed it.

It is an amazing conversation starter.

This is a fantastic little book about what to do when you are worrying way too much, as we all sometimes do. And as some of us do way too often!

The illustrations are delightful - particularly the depiction of what a worry looks like. But really, all of the art is quite charming, and it does the ideas in the book justice. The text makes a lot of sense, and the rhymes work well.

And, of course, there is some sound practical advice on offer. For example what to do if your new teacher turns out to be a bear. Or, as happens more commonly, how to handle the monster you've discovered living under your bed.

This little guide can help a child who is struggling to handle their anxiety over various worries. And perhaps as importantly, it can make them smile along the way as they journey towards better mental health. It is an excellent resource. Highly recommended.

Is a Worry Worrying You? is a lighthearted way of looking at worries like monsters. It is a book full of descriptive ideas about getting rid of a worry. The use of “suppose” is so perfect-it helps kids think about the “what ifs”. The author makes sure to include ways to send the worry away, and to “replace a worry with a happy thought”. Children have so much to deal with already, they shouldn’t have to think about things that most likely will never happen. This book helps kids understand that worry is very real but it’s not a wanted thing in their lives. A much-needed book in a very worried world.

Outdated even in 2014 and definitely now. I could not finish this title. I tried multiple times and made a note of it in my “notes”.

Don’t worry, just read this book. Filled with hilarious and quirky worries, this tells you that it isn’t worth worrying about. We all have worries, but what is the point.

Thank-you to Netgalley for the ARC of this book . These are my honest feelings about this book. This was a very cute book . I loved the illustrations -- very reminiscent of ` Where the Wild Things are ` . The theme of the book is to give scenarios of a worry and show how one can overcome it -- as well at the end it lists ideas for dealing with worries . This book is a great idea for children to tackle worries from a young age to help them develop good coping skills. -- it is also a good idea for adults to have this book as a reminder of how to cope as well . I would recommend this book to anyone with young children who seem to easily worry or become anxious-- but also any child so they can learn coping mechanisms . This book is such a great idea .

This is a cute book to help kids process their emotions and I appreciate how there are books like this out there! I also do see how it may not be enjoyable to young readers.

I think if I had enjoyed reading as a kid and this had existed then, it would have helped me a lot as someone who was a child who can’t express emotions and thoughts without having to worry what anybody else thinks.

Thank you so much publisher for the generosity of making this wonderful book available to read!

Is a Worry Worrying You? is a cute little book about monsters, misunderstandings, doubts and worries. We all deal with them, but as adults, we have an idea of how to handle them. This book helps kids look at what is worrying them and gives them the tools to think through things, talk to someone about them, and realize that they have the power to send the Worry packing! Wonderful lesson for kids to learn!

Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this eARC in exchange for my honest review on the book!

I was drawn to the book because of the cover. I enjoyed the illustrations the most because reading this book out loud made me shorted and simplify the lengthy wordy sentences.

Kids don't like long and wordy.

The first sentence of the book rhymes. That set me up for a fun time. I was sorely disappointed with pages of words and clunky sentences that had no rhythm. Some pages
had short captions, YAY!. Some were so long (like this review) I skimmed and skimming is no good - especially with a picture book!

Shorten the points and make them rhyme, you'll have a winner all in good time....

This book was so adorable, I loved everything about it, the illustrations were so well done, they suited the book perfectly, the story was amazing as well, even thought is very short I could really connect with the characters and feel theirs struggles.
I’m sure the kids are going to be just as enthralled with this amazing book as I was.
I will definitely recommend!

Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this early copy

Thank you for providing me the opportunity to review this book. I am appreciative and leave my sincerity review voluntarily.

"Do you ever have a worry that won't go away? What is a worry, anyway?"

In "Is a Worry Worrying You?", worry is an uninvited monster that has crashed your picnic, tripped your best friend, and taken up residence under your bed—but not to worry! No swords are needed to battle this monster. Instead, the book subtly walks young kids through redirecting their thoughts and finding alternative solutions. The illustrations are dark but playful, and they remind me a bit of "Where the Wild Things Are"—not only a book for worried kids but one for monster-loving kids!

All in all, an excellent addition to any collection of books aimed at helping kids understand and work with their emotions.

Thanks to the authors and publisher for providing a review copy through NetGalley.

An adorable little book on how to deal with worries we have in life😍🫶. Loved it! Honestly, Children's Picture books are the best. This book reminded me of "The Boy, The Mole, the Fox and the Horse"

The book addressed children's,worry with humor, fun way, and great illustration. Helping and teach them to understand better

Okay... first off, everyone should read this book! Children, adults, elderly adults, etc.

I struggle with worry as does my daughter, so reading this together helped both of us.

It uses children’s imagination and wonderful artwork to work through and work out problems of worry and how we go about solving them.

I love how it handled a very important topic in a kid friendly way.

I will definitely re-read this book from time to time when I need reminders of how to handle worry.

The story focuses on how a worry can keep you from doing a lot of things by giving many goofy examples like tea with elephants and gorillas borrowing skateboards. Overall our theme of how to deal with worries is an important social-emotional topic handled in a fun, kid-friendly way.

As a kid who was an epic worrier, I definitely would have benefitted from this book! Full of fun and beautiful illustrations, it acknowledges that children do have worries, then offers tips for dealing with those worries in a lighthearted way.. I enjoyed the book so much that I suspect I will be buying it for the children in my life and perhaps for myself as well!

Is Worry Worrying You? is a fun and educational book about worry and things that might cause stress in children. While it suggests some amusing, unrealistic scenarios, the suggestions for dealing with those problems are helpful. Throughout the book, authors Ferida Wolff and Harriet May Savitz gently propose solutions to worrisome situations and point out that anyone, including adults, can have worries. They interject practical advice into silly stories, such as "Most of the time, something you worry about never happens." The book ends with many ways to battle worries. My favorite is "Replace a worry with a happy thought. Let a worry thought remind you to smile." The very last words are encouragement that "You can do it!" The book's target is 4-7 year-olds, but I think it could be entertaining and helpful for children older than that range.
Illustrator Marie Letourneau has contributed some tremendously fun illustrations, personifying worry as a giant, ugly blob. Her illustrations are exaggerated and colorful. They are a beautiful addition to the book.
Thank you to NetGalley and Tanglewood Publishing for this ebook to review.

I love the idea behind this book. I love the options that are given to the reader as to what a worry is & how to face those worries, deal with them, and move on. FInding a compromise, making another plan, talking it out are all good examples to regulate ourselves if a worry is overwhelming us.

I love a thought provoking childrens book for both the child and the adult.

The predicaments in this book are a great message in itself, I took it as a metaphor that your worry is usually something so silly over a scenario that most likely won't happen.

Gosh, what a beautiful book. I cannot wait to add this to our physical library.

I'm only going to knock off one star because of the illustrations. Although I loved them, my seven year old daughter had a hard time getting through the book because it was "too scary."
