Have you a little Worrysaurus at home？This little board book goes on a journey with our Worrysaurus， who sets out on a picnic， but soon begins to worry and fret over everything he can’t see nor control。“But he hadn’t gotten far， you see，it hadn’t been that long，Before his busy head dreamed up some things that might go wrong…”Our Worrysaurus jumps at the smallest thing， and gets butterflies in his stomach — but he remembers then， what his Mummy always says。“Since when the sun is shining，why worry Have you a little Worrysaurus at home？This little board book goes on a journey with our Worrysaurus， who sets out on a picnic， but soon begins to worry and fret over everything he can’t see nor control。“But he hadn’t gotten far， you see，it hadn’t been that long，Before his busy head dreamed up some things that might go wrong…”Our Worrysaurus jumps at the smallest thing， and gets butterflies in his stomach — but he remembers then， what his Mummy always says。“Since when the sun is shining，why worry it will rain？Since when you’re in the moment，there’s no need to run or hide。And THEN the only butterflies…will be the ones outside。”Perfect for all our wee Worrysauruses！ I love this！📚: @definitelybookskids 。。。more

Good introduction to young readers about anxiety， what it feels like and how it can be helped。 Will be especially of importance in classrooms to introduce mental health concepts。

Worrysaurus’s worrying threaten his planned picnic。"Worrysaurus liked it when he felt prepared。 Unexpected happenings … they made him feel quite scared。"This story uses the metaphor of a butterfly to represent worries。 It also shows comfort objects and a mantra as coping mechanisms。Readers prone to worrying and overthinking may find this book reassuring。 Worrysaurus’s worrying threaten his planned picnic。"Worrysaurus liked it when he felt prepared。 Unexpected happenings … they made him feel quite scared。"This story uses the metaphor of a butterfly to represent worries。 It also shows comfort objects and a mantra as coping mechanisms。Readers prone to worrying and overthinking may find this book reassuring。 。。。more

Not my favourite picture book on anxiety/worry （being present/mindful is great; "if the ending isn't happy then it hasn't ended yet" is a little oversimplified for me even in a picture book）， but great rhymes and adorable illustrations may make it a future storytime pick。 Not my favourite picture book on anxiety/worry （being present/mindful is great; "if the ending isn't happy then it hasn't ended yet" is a little oversimplified for me even in a picture book）， but great rhymes and adorable illustrations may make it a future storytime pick。 。。。more

The best kind of children’s books are ones that have me reevaluating myself when I close the book。 As a bit of a worry-wart myself， this book really spoke to me。 It shares practical steps to take when children find themselves in a worry spiral。The main dinosaur character is just scrumptious！ So so so dang cute！ The world the illustrator built out around the Dino is adorable as well， especially the butterflies。 Great job Chris 👏🏻

I loved this rhyming picture book that helps display feelings of overcoming anxiety and complicated emotions/worry。 The Worrysaurus wakes up one day and has plans to go on a picnic alone。 He plans everything exactly。 Along his travels he is warned that it is supposed to rain that day and his entire mood is thrown。 Whatever will he do now？ Very cute and I loved the illustrations。

el dinosaurio。A partir de un pequeño dinosaurio que se convierte rápidamente en intrépido amigo del lector el pequeño va a descubrir una de las emociones más complejas de entender para su edad como es la preocupación。Con un texto de frases cortas， vocabulario sencillo， ideas directas y una letra mecanizada， que a día de hoy se ha vuelto en el ámbito educativo muy recomendada para su mejor adaptativo al medio， el cuento nos narra las preocupaciones que nos pueden surgir en el día a día ante el encuentro con una realidad incierta que se abre paso en nuestro inminente futuro。La historia representa con exactitud las inquietudes de los más pequeños y se gana su favor al describir rutinas de aseo y alimentación con las que no solo se ejemplifica y transmite hábitos saludables， sino que ayuda a sentirse identificado con sus tareas diarias。Es maravillosa la forma en que la autora transmite la información。 Constantemente hace uso de comparaciones， notas poéticas y rimas， que buscan que el niño se sienta admirado y desee acercarse más a la palabra escrita ya que se sienten atraídos por su sonoridad。Del mismo modo， es ideal para primeros lectores， pues el formato con el que está escrito combina palabras destacadas en mayúsculas y negrita con el resto del texto impreso。El color juega un importante papel a lo largo de la historia， ya que expresará las emociones que el preocupausario esté sintiendo en ese momento。 Asimismo， tanto los tonos como los colores varían desde los más oscuros y tristes a otros más vivos， alegres y brillantes， pudiendo identificar los estados de ánimo y emociones con colores， e incluso con otro tipo de objetos。 Las mariposas， por ejemplo， son introducidas como concepto que representa sensaciones como nervios， desconcierto o estrés。 Esta metáfora promueve la reflexión y el diálogo con los niños para que ellos mismos sepan identificar sus emociones。La pluma de la autora es dulce y produce efecto arrullador， tales características aunadas a unas tiernas imágenes de tonos pastel， ambientes muy naturales， bucólicos y coloridos hacen que abrir el libro sea toda una delicia。La temática sobre la que gira la historia es el miedo en diferentes vertientes; miedo a lo desconocido， a lo inesperado o a la incertidumbre que nos ocasiona la vida diaria， así como la forma que tiene de paralizarnos。Al final de la historia queda un tranquilizador mensaje en donde se invita al lector a perder el miedo enfrentándose a lo desconocido， sin preocuparse en exceso por lo pueda devenir y a aprender a convivir con este sentimiento sin permitir que nos paralice o nos impida realizar actividades que deseamos。A su vez， de forma subyacente， fomenta el desarrollo de la autoestima， el valor， la fortaleza interna， la superación， la familia y el amor。Personalmente me ha parecido una historia maravillosa， muy didáctica y lúdica que trabaja las emociones y la forma de tratarlas dirigida y adaptada a los pequeños。 También me parece muy apropiado como recurso educativo no solo por sus increíbles y simpáticas imágenes o su motivador personaje， sino por todas las opciones que ofrece para trabajar tanto en familia como en el aula。La edad ideal a la que yo recomendaría este libro es entre los 3 y los 7 años， pues tanto su mensaje como su profundidad son completamente adaptables y explotados en función de las habilidades del educador。Sin duda alguna el trabajo emocional es imperante en las primeras etapas de la vida， no solo para ayudar a los pequeños a conocerse y entenderse， sino también para ayudarlos a saber expresarse y gestionar sus emociones。Por este motivo considero que "El preocupasaurio" es un cuento ideal， para leer o ser leído， ya que les permite identificar y representar sus preocupaciones a través de un aprendizaje dirigido y motivador。 。。。more

I'm guessing this would be good from preschoolers。 I think its a good reminder to not let worried control your life and a lesson in mindfulness。 Lessons can be taught on how to create our own "tins of happy things within" I'm guessing this would be good from preschoolers。 I think its a good reminder to not let worried control your life and a lesson in mindfulness。 Lessons can be taught on how to create our own "tins of happy things within" 。。。more

A beautiful story that can help children to set their worries free or address their worries。 It also gives them the chance to cope with worrying by doing some things to help you feel better - the things that you are worrying about might not have even happened yet， something that has already happened but it’s done so you can set these feelings free。Maybe you’ve got something that makes you feel happy to think about that can help set your worries free。

"The Worrysaurus" is a lovely book to implement into the classroom to help and support children who may feel anxious or worried about things。 The "worrysaurus" explains how we overcomes these worries， with sentimental objects such as a letter， a teddy etc that make him feel better。 This story would be great to support discussions and address children's worries and what they might use themselves to help them overcome them。 I also felt the colourful illustrations were powerful in highlighting the "The Worrysaurus" is a lovely book to implement into the classroom to help and support children who may feel anxious or worried about things。 The "worrysaurus" explains how we overcomes these worries， with sentimental objects such as a letter， a teddy etc that make him feel better。 This story would be great to support discussions and address children's worries and what they might use themselves to help them overcome them。 I also felt the colourful illustrations were powerful in highlighting the Worrysaurus's emotions and feelings。 。。。more

A lovely book to explore emotions - helps normalise being worried and also talks about strategies to help overcome overthinking。 I also love the colour connotations within this book and feel it could link to colour theory in art through discussing warm and cool toned colours as well as their connotations。

A good book to use across primary school aged children。 Especially PSHE with KS1 I like that the Worrysaurus' worries and anxieties are represented by butterflies。 This might be something that they would have heard used as an expression and this book can add context。 A good book to use across primary school aged children。 Especially PSHE with KS1 I like that the Worrysaurus' worries and anxieties are represented by butterflies。 This might be something that they would have heard used as an expression and this book can add context。 。。。more

As a worrier， this little story resonates with me。 I personally love how this book 'normalises' worrying for children， a feeling which can often be pushed to the side or regarded as silly。 It's a book to promote talk， not just about our feelings but about different ways we can cope - something which， as a result of the pandemic， definitely has been highlighted more。 I would love to have a corner dedicated to this book where children have a safe space to share things that are worrying or concerni As a worrier， this little story resonates with me。 I personally love how this book 'normalises' worrying for children， a feeling which can often be pushed to the side or regarded as silly。 It's a book to promote talk， not just about our feelings but about different ways we can cope - something which， as a result of the pandemic， definitely has been highlighted more。 I would love to have a corner dedicated to this book where children have a safe space to share things that are worrying or concerning them which allows for children to feel comfortable in their learning space。 。。。more

This is an amazing book that is perfect for children who are worried about something such as their work or field days out。 It tells them that there is nothing to be afraid of but also helps with talking about certain objects that are close to them， being useful in calming nerves and their worry。 Highly recommend！
