I have been looking for a book to help children understand their feelings and worries that they may have, and this is it! The Worrysaurus is a little dinosaur who has lots of anxious thoughts about what could go wrong in his daily life, but he is brave and finds several ways to conquer them and is happy. The language is easily accessible, and the author’s use of rhyme produces a lullaby-effect to soothe children and make them feel calm.
I would read the story to the children (I think you could use this book with any primary class) and we would discuss the illustrator’s use of colour to signify the Worrysaurus’ changing emotions and feelings. For example, every time he has a worry the page is a gloomy blue, sometimes accompanied by black and raindrops to further show his gloomy and sad feelings. This is then contrasted with bright yellow and other vibrant colours when he thinks of what his mother would say and takes out his box of happy things. This teaches children that worries do not have to consume us and if you just share it with someone, as Worrysaurus does with Lizard, you will feel better.
The book introduces the idea of butterflies representing a worry and the feeling of having butterflies in your stomach. I would discuss this with a class, and it would help them to talk about their feelings, for example: “I have a big butterfly today”. Younger children who tend to struggle wording their emotions/ feelings could really benefit from this. We would create a list of things to do when you have a worry, inspired by the book, such as sharing it with a trusted adult and doing things that make you happy. I would give each child a picture of a happy box and ask them to draw or write all of the things that bring them joy. I would then put these up on our well being wall and encourage the children to use it when they are feeling blue.
I would leave this book on display in our well being area, alongside a stuffed dinosaur toy and a big sign inviting the children to write down their worries on a butterfly with their name and place it in the jar next to Worrysaurus. Much like the ‘Worrymonster’ idea, the dinosaur would gobble the worry up for them. I would then be able to help the children manage their worries, deal with any if necessary (“The Worrysaurus told me that…”) and be aware of their anxieties.

Why is a kid's book so relatable?
"... Worrysaurus liked it when he knew what lay ahead..."
"... This Worrysaurus OFTEN WAS ONE TO OVERTHINK..."
"... Worrysaurus liked it when he felt he was prepared. Unexpected happenings... they made him feel quite scared..."
"Oh, my little Worrysaurus, chase that butterfly away! Don't you worry now, my lovely, you must try not to fret. If it's not a happy ending, then it hasn't ended yet."
❤️❤️❤️

I don't normally review kids books because let's face it, like most parents I read the same 20-30 books over and over and over and over and ...
But I bought this one the other day because *I* wanted to read it because I was once a little Worrysaurus (and now sometimes am a Grown-Up Worrysaurus). Worrysaurus has a pouch of items that make him happy and that help distract him from his worries, and it reminded me that I should probably review my own coping mechanisms. It is adorable and the artwork is lush and beautiful and it made me happy to read it to Ethan while he fell asleep on Dada.

It took me about three minutes to read this and approximately two of those minutes were spent furiously blinking away my tears so I could actually see the pages.

Adorable illustrations are paired with a story of a worrysaurus, who has to learn how to deal with their worries when something unplanned for occurs.

Este é um dos livros que mais uso enquanto psicóloga infantil para ajudar os mais pequenos a lidarem com as preocupações, medos e ansiedade. É um livro divertido, que faz as delícias dos amantes de dinossauros. Está escrito em verso o que possibilita uma leitura mais melodiosa para as crianças mais pequenas e apresenta algumas ideias que utilizamos na terapia cognitivo comportamental. Ao longo da história também dá dicas de algumas estratégias de enfrentamento, como a criação da caixa das coisas felizes. Um ótimo livro para ler em família.

Poor Worrysaurus. He is overcome with worries. Then he remembers a little saying his mom shares, and his worries flutter away.
A little book for all of us who might worry excessively, with some strategies.

A lovely book that can be used during PSHE and circle time to address any worries children might have.

Love the poetry within this book! Everyone has worries and this would be a fun but understandable way to introduce worry to children

This is really cute! I was a super anxious kid, and I don't think this would have fixed my problems, but I bet it would have helped, and I do hope it helps current kids.

It might be me, but teaching „Carpe Diem“ to pre-schoolers, they of the „why do I need to go to bed? Why do I need to brush teeth? Why do I need to go to the bathroom before long travels?“ seems extremely, nay horribly, insanely ill-advised.
Nice rhymes and drawings, though.

j'enlève une étoile à cause du passage qui sonne un peu comme "il suffit de penser positif" mais sinon c'était archi cute et une bonne façon de parler de l'anxiété aux enfants

What an incredible book!
The Worrysaurus is a little dinosaur who worries about daily challenges in his life but manages to find small things to conquer those fears!
The illustrations and use of pictures/colour throughout this book really helps to create the atmosphere for the reader. Up until we understand that the dinosaur is worried, there is use of bright colours and happy faces, however the colours then begin to turn dark and blue suggesting the worry he is feeling! The way that Chatterton uses the tall and large trees when he is feeling scared, shows that the little dinosaur is feeling very worried and small underneath them all (picture book codes @ uni). Then again when he is sat by himself contemplating how to overcome his fear he is sat down in a dark hole suggesting to the reader he is frightened. Towards the end of the book when he begins to feel happier the colours get brighter again and he looks bigger on the page!
This story would be a wonderful book to use to show children there is no need to worry about small things in life, and that it is easier than you think to overcome them! I will definitely be using it when I get back into the classroom - one of my new favourites!

The Worrysaurus by @rachelbrightbooks
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 stars
As a children's mental health practitioner working on the NHS, I am always on the lookout for new resources so imagine my joy when I came across this cute book - I brought it straight away!
This beautifully illustrated book is about a dinosaur who experiences many worries 'the worrysaurus' and details how he overcomes these worries. I felt the illustrations, rhyming verses and simple language are perfect for the intended target audience.
This is a book I will definitely be recommending to parents (other significant adults).

Rachel Bright formada en Gráficos en la Universidad de Kingston y con un Máster en Grabado en UWE, posee una colección de libros ilustrados, que se encuentra en constante crecimiento, y ha resultado ganadora de múltiples premios.
Por su parte, Chris Chatterton comenzó su carrera en diseño gráfico y animación, trabajando en una variedad de proyectos, incluidos Dr Who y The Dumping Ground de CBBC. La pasión de Chris por la ilustración lo llevó a seguir una carrera como artista independiente trabajando en varios libros para niños. Originario del condado de Durham en el Reino Unido, Chris ahora vive y trabaja en Barcelona, España.
"El preocupasaurio" es un álbum ilustrado infantil perteneciente a la nueva colección de Rachel Bright en donde la figura principal y protagonista de la historia se corresponde con uno de los personajes que más pasión, admiración y curiosidad despierta en los niños de las primeras etapas; 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.

A really nice example of how to address feelings of worry and anxiety with young children. It mentions overthinking and liking to know what will happen in the day but we know in reality this is out of our control so we need to learn to live and enjoy the moment! I'm sure lots of children and adults can relate to this book and discuss experience and ways that we can try and cope with the changing world but not let it ruin our day and our mental health.
There is an analogy of butterflies in the tummy, but the only butterflies should be on the outside. I can imagine children writing their fears on a butterfly, maybe one side fear and one side a positive or technique to deal with it, which can be displayed or released into the air (elastic band trick).

This story follows a day in the life of a Worrysaurus seeing the challenges he faces and how he deals with them. We see how the Worrysaurus likes to prepare for situations and how he feels when he is no longer in control. As a reader I particularly liked the use of a butterfly within this story as I feel it is an image that children could relate a feeling to that they may find difficult to process usually. This is such a lovely story that expresses difficult emotions for children to deal with in a child friendly way and helps children to know we can control our emotions by chasing our worries away! I would use this book for PSHE throughout EYFS and Key stage 1 and will be sure to use this book within my teaching.

All about a dinosaur who plans a whole day but then he worries about lots of things for his adventure. His overthinking starts to get in the way and he has butterflies. He remembers his mum's words about chasing the worries away.
A lovely book about chasing your worries away to help you enjoy the life you lead. Remembering what gives you comfort to be able to carry on. I would share this with a class at the moment to remind them that it is alright to feel this way and to talk about what can help them. I think this book would support a PSHE lesson really well and each child could come up with their own bag of worries.

This is a lovely story about worrying and why and how it can make us feel. This book could be used to start a discussion with a class or individual children about why they might worry and what they can do to help themselves feel better. This could be particularly useful when children are going back to school. The colours in the book are bright and welcoming with the worries in a pale blue colour, this can help children to understand that the worry isn’t real and they can make it go away. ‘If it’s not a happy ending, it hasn’t ended yet’

Through the loveable dinosaur character, the Worrysaurus, this story explores how children's anxieties and worries can spiral and also some of the coping mechanisms and mindfulness strategies that they can use to deal with them. This book uses colour to effectively convey the emotions of the Worrysaurus, with the backgrounds getting progressively darker as his worries spiral and brighter as he finds a resolution. Rhyme is also used to good effect. All in all, a heartwarming story which helps children to understand why they sometimes feel like they have a butterfly in their tummy, which would be suitable for children in EYFS and Key Stage 1.

This sweet little dinosaur likes to know what's ahead of him-- but sometimes even with the day all planned out, he tends to become a Worrysaurus, wondering about all the things that might go wrong. These aren't the good kind of butterflies in his stomach! Sometimes he needs a reminder to hold his head up high, and that everything is going to be okay! Adorable, kind, and dear, The Worrysaurus is a reminder to all of us, young and old, to slow down and take a deep breath.

Die Mutmach-Geschichte überzeugt mit tollen Illustrationen und mit einer wunderbaren Metapher - dem Angstschmetterling - zum Thema Sorgen. Die Reimform war beim Vorlesen doch etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig und die Geschichte war an manchen Stellen für meinen Geschmack nicht ganz rund (z.B. Wieso macht ein kleiner Dino allein einen Ausflug?). Die Botschaft, die vermittelt wird, und der kleine Sorgosaurus sind aber super!

This is such a lovely book! It's fantastic to help children understand their feelings! It introduces the idea of butterflies and how the worrysaurus finds things in life that can be worrying (introducing overthinking to children). Ultimately, it shows there are ways to be brave and turn those feelings into positive ones. I love this and would absolutely have it in my classroom!
March 28, 2021
My almost-6 year old keeps asking to read this, which is encouraging! I asked him if he worries about things like the worrysaurus does (obviously he does) and he said cheerfully “oh, not really, just the world ending and everyone dying.” 😳
October 17, 2021
A fun, illustrated story designed to help children understand that they can manage their worries and stop them from ruining their fun. A lovely introduction to the idea of building a 'calm kit' also, this is a great resource for primary teachers to have on their shelf!

I absolutely loved this, the kind of book I wish I'd had when I was a kid

Really great read for kids who overthink or worry a lot. But also great read for kids in general going through new or bigger life transitions.
