**************************

Winsome rhyming lines which sound like music by Rachel Bright and cute, captivating illustrations by Chris Chatterton make this picture book perfect! If you can only buy one book as a gift for a child, this is the one!
Poor little Worrysaurus! He has planned such a fantastic day: he's packed his snacks and art supplies and begins his adventure, but it isn't too long and he gets anxious and begins to worry. He questions whether has has enough snacks or enough water.
He meets a little lizard who claims there might be a storm coming, and Worrysaurus starts to think of all the bad things that could happen. He feels a worry butterfly in his belly but remembers his mother's wisdom:
"If it's not a happy ending, then it hasn't ended yet."
What a beautiful sentiment! With that memory, Worrysaurus holds all his special items and toys and his worry begins to fade away. He shares his lunch with the lizard and realizes he has the power to calm the butterfly feeling in his own belly.
In an anxious world, children will need to learn coping skills. The Worrysaurus teaches them about being anxious and worried, but learning to calm down. Because Worrysaurus seems like a cartoon or stuffed animal, kids won't take the story as a sermon. Young readers will empathize with Worrysaurus and want him to be okay. What a postitive picture book!
Highly, highly recommended! FIVE STARS! This one will win awards and be the runaway picture book of the year!
