Other Childrens Books based on anxiety

The illustrations in this book are very sweet and well designed. I really like the layout of the pages and the simplicity of them yet they contain all the information needed. I like the kind of type used in this book and how it is laid out on the pages, it's interesting and expressive.  

The book is quite different it begins with the tortoise thinking that all negative things are going to happen when he goes to school. But he then changes his mind and thinks of it all in positive ways. But at the end of the story the Tortoise turns out to actually be the teacher, so it shows children that even their teachers can feel anxious sometimes, but it's ok because school is fun.

 

This is more of a 'help' book for parents and teachers to read with anxious children. At the back of the book there's a section with helpful information on how the book should be discussed with children. The pages are full with illustrations with lots of people on each page, this gives a true impression of what school life is like. However, it's a bit too busy for my liking, I prefer slightly more simple pages so that the reader isn't overwhelmed with information from the illustrations.

The illustrations in this book are dark, which makes it good for a bed time story for relaxing, there are no bright colours to cause children to become excited.
This book is based on separation anxiety, and reassures children that when their parents go for a little while, they will always come back. Like when the child needs to go to sleep, their parent will leave them but they will be back in the morning.

This story is about a wolf who wont go to school because he cant read or write and believes he will have more fun at home. He is also secretly scared that he wont be able to do anything at school because he cant read or write. But then his friend takes him to school and shows him all the fun things he can do, and when the weekend comes he doesn't want to be at home because he is bored. The drawings are quite simple and rough but also animated which makes them interesting. The page layouts are also good, and quite different to a typical children's book which makes it interesting.
