PreS-K—Spelman succinctly explores causes for a young child's worry and then shows positive ways to dispel negative feelings, such as telling an adult, being held, and listening to music. In double-page scenes, an anthropomorphic hamster expresses being worried about doctors, crowds, yelling, swimming, and more. The narrator's rabbit, cat, and dog acquaintances bring cheer and keep the topic light. The brief text and appealing illustrations broaden the book's appeal. Solid bibliotherapy.—Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA
