Wemberly worries about spilling her juice, about shrinking in the bathtub, and about snakes in the radiator. She worries morning, noon, and night. Worry, worry, worry, her family says. Too much worry.
Wemberly worries about one thing most of all: her first day of school. But when the big day arrives and she meets Jewel, Wemberly realizes that school is too much fun to waste time worrying!
This warm and comforting first day of school and back-to-school picture book features carefully crafted text perfect for reading aloud and story times and is certain to ease first day nerves. The artwork, in Wemberly Worried and in all of Kevin Henkes's mouse books, is playful, funny, inviting, and timeless.
Told with sensitivity and filled with perfectly chosen details, this story will speak to young worrywarts everywhere. --School Library Journal (starred review)
