The Huge Bag of Worries

I have marked this book 3 out of 5 because I don’t like the worries. My Grandma bought me this book to help me understand feelings when I was getting very worried about things.

I have no bags of worries

This is a lovely book that covers the issue of having worries and these being a weight on your shoulders. It addresses how worries can take over and yet they are usually very small. It looks at ways to deal with worries too in a fun and visual way for the young.

So the boy has a huge bag of worries

This was a good childrens book about worries a huge bag of worries. This was a good book especially for children

When you open the bag of worries they jump out and run away and the bag goes into London!

I like when they throw things away. I like the orange bugs

They all went

It teaches you to not worry anymore or else you'll get a huge bag of worries and your whole life will be ruined.

I liked the characters because I thought they were really sweet and kind but I didn't like the huge bag of worries because they were following Jenny around.

This girl is a bit like me because I always get worried. Wouldn’t the bag be really heavy? This book helps people notice that your worries will go away at some point.

It felt happy and I really liked the story because it was nice my favourite part of the story is probably going to have to be when the lady took out all the worries and threw them away and blew them kisses. Then I liked when she threw the bag away.

I think about this book that it turned out really really well. I think I should get more worry books. I think my favourite part of the story is when the last was getting out all the worries and threw them away and blew kisses to them and everything. It was really nice to red this book. I like this book.

I read this book with my mum and we talked about how it’s best to share our worries because that makes us feel better.

I think it's sad she had to carry a big bag of worries around

Even though it looks like a short story it’s actually a long story.

This book makes me feel sad that Sophie is sad but at the end its happy because it tells you to share your worries with someone and they might go away. I sometimes worry and share them with mum.

Good

It was very good. I liked that there was alot of imagination in it. The author should be pleased with themself!

We like this book, about a girl who has a worry.
In the beginning, it was small, but it grew bigger and bigger.
Until one day, a grandma found the bag of worries, and starts to take it out.

When she did, the girl realised that it's not that big after all.
And the worries starts to disappear.

And she realised that everyone has their own bag of worries too.

I liked the lady helping the child with her worries.

I think this was a really good one to explain what to do with worries

This was a wonderful book with beautiful illustrations. It would be a great book to use to introduce the idea of worried and anxiety to children, especially in the uncertain times we are facing at the moment.

it teaches us not to worry about things you don't need to worry about and that it helps to talk to someone.

Recommend to age 7+

I like this book because the old lady from next door helped Jenny learn how to throw her worries away. After reading this book, I realised that I could share my worries with someone, who will help me get rid of my worries.

My favourite character is the old lady who lives next door because she has lots of good advice and she is very helpful and a good friend to Jenny. There were lots of different characters in the book who Jenny could ask for help, I like how we see lots of different people she could ask and how we realise everyone can need help sometimes. The story is a great example of how we will all feel sometimes, and it makes it easy to see how worries can build up and affect all areas of our lives, even for grown-ups like parents or teachers.
My favourite part of the book is when Jenny figures out how to deal with her bag of worries, the end of the story gives lot of brilliant ideas about how we can all treat our worries.
The illustrations in the book are very bright and colourful and give lots of highlights to the important points in the story.
It would have been good if there had been some talking points at the back of the story to help start a conversation about worries we might have and how we could be like the characters in the story.
There could have been more information about some of the worries that the other characters have, it is helpful to see that for example Mum and Dad also have worries but this could have been talked about more. There are lots of worries in the bag but none are talked about in too much detail, it would have been good to maybe name and explore some in a bit more detail at the end to help with sorting them into groups.
I would recommend this book for KS1 children as a great introduction to discussing worries and anxieties in an informal and accessible way. This book is a great tool to use in class as a whole class story to open up group discussions and allow conversations about difficult and sometimes abstract concepts.

I liked when the worries popped out of the locker at school.

It’s about gent and her worries from the future and family school friend and teacher and it’s was grow up by the time the make genny very upset no one help her from her family bcz they are busy and her friend tried but it doesn’t work even her dog try but nothing work until she met the nice old lady who open the bag and sorted out the worries some belong to other some run away and some flew like a kiss and some in the basket and the bag was empty and throw away and genny was so happy that her nightmare finish

This is a great way to talk about your worries.

I didnt really understand the book it was weird because you cant really carry a bag of worries with you.
