Ruby kept on talking about her worry and that made me happy. My favourite character is Ruby because she was brave to talk. I would recommend this book to my friends.

A lot of kids have worries and are afraid to talk about that and in this book Ruby shares her worries with other kids and made the worry disappear and turn it into rainbow colours.

My favourite part was when Ruby helped the boy talk about his worry.
I chose this book because of the characters on the front page.

I liked this book as I sometimes get worried too

04 Jul 2023

it helps people understand what to do if you worry but it does have a few dark gloomy illustrations and it isn't funny

I like the bit where the worries go away and a rainbow comes

01 Sep 2022

I hope I don't get a worry because it's not nice. But now I know how to deal with it.

The book made me realise you can’t carry worries around. It helped me talk to my mummy and daddy about my worries, including my bad dreams where people came up the stairs and me and Felicity and Mummy and Daddy where asleep. It was clever when the scribble on Ruby’s shoulder got bigger and bigger and became a worry.

Let your biggest Emotion

I enjoyed it because there is a message in the book, you should talk about any worries you have.
I do so recommend this book.

I like this book as it helps people who have a worry feel better. I had a worry once and my mum read it to me and it helped me feel better so that’s why I like it

I don't really like this book as it made me feel worried when the enormous worry was next to Ruby. But it also reminded me to talk about any worries to make them get smaller and go away.

17 Aug 2021

It was not very interesting book for me. Didn't like that the worry made Ruby sad.

10 Aug 2021

I like this book, I like when the worry goes away because ruby tells someone. I have a worry monster she is called Jenny.

I would recommend this to other people.

Ruby is a cheerful girl, until one day she found Worry.

Worry is getting bigger and bigger ...

and when one day she found another boy who also had worry, she realized that talking about it, will make the worry smaller

29 Jul 2021

It was good but you could of described more about the book and it was ok. I kind of like the worry and the little girl, they were the main characters of the book. This book was very intriguing on the bit where you just had to forget your worrys and have fun when you can. I would definitely recommend it to a children that needs a little read to help get along with reading.

This is a lovely book about worries and how they can seem bigger if they aren't shared. Ruby comes to realise that everyone has worries, they're nothing to be ashamed of and a problem shared is a problem halved. The illustrations depict really well how worries can get bigger and bigger if you worry about them and bottle them up. I would recommend this book to EYFS and KS1 teachers to read to their class.

27 Jul 2021

I liked it at the end because Ruby was happy and she could not even see the worry. I like books with happy endings.
