This fun story explores the lives of three best friends that go on an adventure, but there’s a twist; they worry about everything! Wombat asks her friends Weasel and Woodchuck if they will wonder the world with her, but they are too overwhelmed with worries. While packing snacks for their adventure they wonder what if the weather worsens, what if there is a storm of waiting wasp, or even worse what if they see walloped warthogs. The friends explore their worries together and have their own adventure doing so.

This would be a great story to incorporate into the classroom because it is full of alliteration by repeatedly using the W sound at the beginning of each word. This will build on student’s phonemic awareness, and the illustrations hold the reader’s attention. Also, The Worrywarts is a great book to help children that have worries about new things or might have anxiety.
