Learning to deal with anxiety is an important step in a child's healthy emotional growth. Conquering fears, and not avoiding them, is the lesson imparted in this story. David could not stop thinking about the basket he had missed at the end of the big game. He was worried that he might do it again. He was worried that his team mates would be angry with him. He was worried that his parents would not be proud of him. He was also worried about an upcoming math test. In fact, David was worried a lot. "Should I quit the team?" he asked himself. "Should I be sick tomorrow and miss the math test?" Luckily, David finally confided in his parents and school nurse, both of whom gave him support and techniques for controlling the "worry beast" within him. Delightfully illustrated, it focuses on a very real and essential topic.

This book has a great story that both kids and parents will relate to, but it also has some excellent techniques and tips to help elementary-aged children cope with everyday anxieties. As the mom of a daughter who tends to magnify minor problems, I loved the Worry Beast!

This is a great book to read with you child if he or she has any type of anxiety issue. My son loves for me to read it to him. It talks about real feelings that children have and helps them to figure out ways to deal with their anxieties.

Great book!
I was concerned this book might be a little long and involved for a newly six year old. It's not a quick read, like "Is a worry worrying you" (also good), but it works. Read more
